Charitable Gift Annuities
(Gift example*)
You hold a stock portfolio that has appreciated well but
only pays you 2% income per year. You are now 70, and you are concerned that if you sell some of the stock to reinvest
in bonds, capital gains taxes will cut heavily into the proceeds. You want
to make a gift of $50,000 to MDA, but you need the income that
your portfolio provides you.
You are looking for a gift plan that will continue this income
and increase it, if possible.
