A gift annuity is a contract with Doane College. In return for a transfer of cash, marketable securities or other assets, Doane agrees to pay a fixed amount of money to one or more individuals, for their lifetime.
A person who receives payments is called an "annuitant" or "beneficiary". The payments are fixed and unchanged for the term of the contract. A portion of the payments are NOT called "income", as payments are considered to be a partial, tax-free return of the donor's gift. These payments are spread into equal amounts over the life expectancy of the annuitant(s).
If you would like a free, no obligation, projection of the tax consequences of making a gift annuity; we will calculate it for you.
