Charitable Gift Annuities

How it works

  1. You transfer cash or securities to Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery*.
  2. After the transfer, BJU M&G* pays you, or up to two annuitants you name, fixed income for life.
  3. The principal passes to BJU M&G* when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
  • Your annuity payments are guaranteed for life, backed by a reserve and the assets of BJU M&G*.
  • Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income, part capital gains income (15%), and part tax-free income.
  • You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and BJU M&G* later.

A charitable gift annuity is for you if ...

  • You want to make a significant gift to us and receive lifetime payments in return.
  • You want to maximize the payments you receive from your planned gift — and you want to lower your income tax on those payments.
  • You want the security of payment amounts that won't fluctuate during your lifetime.
  • You also appreciate the safety of your payments being a general financial obligation of the institution.
