NOW is the time for the CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY (CGA)
A charitable gift annuity can give you the peace of mind you need, especially in this economy. Donors and charities like the gift annuity because it's easy and it provides you with a guaranteed, fixed payment for life and a nice charitable deduction. And best of all, it allows you to support the efforts of United Way. Some donors like gift annuities so much that they fund more than one.
Local United Way Testimonial
Hi. I'm Jeffrey Janis, Director, Major Gifts for United Way of Greater Los Angeles. When I first began working for United Way over 2 years ago, I was not only responsible for major gifts but planned gifts as well. A few weeks into the job, I received a call from United Way of America talking about a CGA or charitable gift annuity. I had no idea why they were calling me but found out United Way of Greater Los Angeles would be the beneficiary of 3 annuities...from the same donor! More on Local United Way Testimonial >>
