Income You Can Count On Through a Charitable Gift

There’s such a thing as a win-win-win. For example, there’s a way to support those we serve today, get an income tax deduction (when you itemize) and enjoy income for life. It’s called an impact charitable gift annuity (CGA).

How Does It Work?

In exchange for a gift of $25,000 or more, the University of North Texas will send you lifetime payments at a fixed rate. You designate the University of North Texas to receive the first three to five years of payments. At the end of the term, and for the rest of your life, you receive the payments.

Any remaining balance again supports our cause. Imagine the good you could do now and in the future through this powerful gift.

What Are the Benefits?

With this gift, you’ll enjoy:

  • Lifetime income
  • Income that is partially tax-free throughout your life expectancy
  • A charitable deduction for a portion of your gift
  • Fixed rates that don’t fluctuate with the stock market or interest rates
  • The opportunity to designate a loved one as the recipient of the income
  • Savings on capital gains taxes if you contribute appreciated securities

Most of all, you’ll know that you're making a difference on our mission today and tomorrow.

Tip: You can write this gift arrangement to direct as many payments as you wish back to UNT. You’ll qualify for a tax deduction each year you do so.
