Charitable Gift Annuity

A Gift That Creates Income For You

A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a unique way to support Placer Food Bank while simultaneously creating income you can rely on in your retirement years.

Through a CGA, you make a gift to Placer Food Bank. From that gift, we create dependable fixed income for you (and someone else, if you choose) for life. After your passing, the balance remaining will enable Placer Food Bank to continue its work alleviating hunger.

In addition to both providing for yourself and creating your legacy, a CGA can also qualify you for a variety of tax benefits, including a federal income tax charitable deduction if you itemize.

If you fund your gift annuity with cash or appreciated property, you qualify for a federal income tax deduction if you itemize. In addition, you can minimize capital gains taxes when you fund your gift with appreciated property.

And now, you can fund your gift using your IRA assets. If you are 70½ and older, you can make a one-time election of up to $50,000 to fund a gift annuity. While your gift does not qualify for an income tax deduction, it does escape income tax liability on the transfer and count toward all or part of your required minimum distributions.
