The Deferred Payment Charitable Gift Annuity
The Gift Annuity Plan for Younger Donors
A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract between a donor and Temple University, whereby the University agrees to pay a fixed annuity amount to a donor for life in exchange for an irrevocable gift. The annuity payments can be deferred until your retirement years -- or any other designated point in time. In this way, a deferred payment gift annuity functions much like an IRA and can be used to supplement your other retirement savings plans. A second, successive lifetime income beneficiary can also be named and for each gift given to this plan, the donor receives an immediate income tax deduction for the remainder value of this gift to Temple.


Here are two illustrations of how this giving plan works:

Illustration A:
John and Mary, both age 45, decide that it would be to their advantage to consider annual contributions to Temple's deferred payment gift annuity plan. They decide to contribute $5,000 per year to the plan for 20 years, after which they will begin their lifetime annuity payments. For each annual contribution John and Mary will receive an immediate income tax deduction (the average being $727), and during their retirement years, they will receive a fixed annuity of $10,230 (or 10.23% of their total contribution), of which $3,432 is tax-free. When John and Mary pass away, the remaining principal of their plan (estimated at over $465,000) will go to Temple to support their designated interests.

Illustration B:
Sue is single and has reached that milestone age of 50 years old. She is actively saving for her retirement years. She is also very interested in doing something special to support her alma mater. She decides to put these two objectives together. Her investment portfolio includes $50,000 in CD's that are about to mature. She decides to take this cash and donate it to Temple in exchange for a deferred payment gift annuity that will begin paying her a fixed, lifetime annuity beginning at her 66th birthday. Under this arrangement Temple will pay Sue an annuity of $7,050 or 14.1% of her gift (of which $1,804 is tax-free). Sue also gets an immediate income tax deduction of $15,563 bringing her total effective return for this investment in Temple's future to 17%. Temple will invest the principal of Sue's gift and the remaining principal of her plan (estimated at $226,574) will eventually benefit her designated interests.

With your permission, Temple will recognize your gift through membership in the University's Acres of Diamonds Circle, a distinctive group of fellow alumni/ae and friends who have made a planned gift to the University.
