Charitable Gift Annuity
With a charitable gift annuity, you can make a gift and receive fixed payments for life.
How It Works
- You transfer cash or securities. If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a one-time, tax-free qualified charitable distribution of up to $54,000 from your IRA to fund a CGA.
- Our minimum gift requirement is $20,000.
- You, yourself and a spouse, or any two beneficiaries you name, will receive fixed payments for life.
- Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least 65 years of age at the time of the gift.
- The remaining balance passes to Rivier University when the contract ends.
- You can also create a life income gift through your IRA. Discover more here.
