Give Back and Gain Security with a Charitable Gift Annuity
Discover how a charitable gift annuity can provide reliable income for you today while creating opportunities for Ducks tomorrow.
Do you want steady income and a chance to help UO students? A charitable gift annuity lets you do both. For many UO supporters, the appeal of a charitable gift annuity is simple: dependable income and lasting impact.
How charitable gift annuities work
You make a gift of cash or appreciated assets. In return, you receive fixed payments for life, providing predictable income year after year. Once the payments end, the remainder of your charitable gift annuity supports the university area you care about most, whether that’s student scholarships, faculty excellence, breakthrough research, or a program that shaped your own UO experience.
Benefits of charitable gift annuities
- Reliable, fixed income for life: Payments remain the same every year, offering stable income you can count on. Rates are based on your age at the time you create the annuity.
- Tax advantages: You’ll receive an immediate charitable deduction, can count a portion of each annuity payment as tax-free income for years, and may reduce capital gains taxes if you fund your charitable gift annuity with appreciated assets.
- Lasting impact: After your lifetime, your gift supports students, faculty, and programs that matter to you. Your generosity continues creating opportunities long after you’ve received all the benefits your annuity provides.
