How a charitable gift annuity works
A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to support Pasadena Senior Center.
- You make a gift of cash or stock to the Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) and designate Pasadena Senior Center to receive an immediate grant. In return, PCF will make payments to you which are guaranteed for life.
- You will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
- You also receive satisfaction, knowing that you will be helping further our mission.
If you decide to fund your gift annuity with cash, a significant portion of the annuity payment will be tax-free. You may also make a gift of appreciated securities to fund a gift annuity and avoid a portion of the capital gains tax. Please contact us to inquire about other assets that you might be able to use to fund a charitable gift annuity.
