A Charitable Gift Annuity is a way to make a gift to the Foundation and receive a one-time income tax deduction along with a fixed income for life in return. 

Charitable Gift Annuities can be for one or two people and the interest payments are based on age. With a two-person annuity, after the first person passes, the surviving person receives payments until their passing.

When the donor's life (or lives in a two-person annuity) ends, the remaining balance will be distributed according to their wishes - the local church, one of our Dakotas Conference ministries or to establish a Named Endowment.

Additions cannot be made to an existing CGA. Additional CGA's may be set up based on the donor's age(s) at that time.
