Charitable Gift Annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) with the Catholic Community Foundation is a powerful way to support the causes you care about while ensuring a lifetime of steady income. Rooted in faith, a CGA allows you to make a lasting difference in the Catholic community while enjoying financial benefits for yourself or a loved one.
What is a Charitable Gift Annuity?
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple, contractual agreement where you make a gift to the Catholic Community Foundation, and in return, you receive fixed, guaranteed payments for life. Upon your passing, the remainder of the gift supports the Catholic organizations or ministries you designate.
