Annuities

Would you like to make a gift to Emma Willard and at the same time ensure reliable income for your future?

If so, consider establishing a charitable gift annuity.

In exchange for your gift of $10,000 or more, Emma Willard agrees to provide you (or another beneficiary or beneficiaries) with a fixed amount of income annually for the lifetime of the beneficiary. Rates are based on age (minimum age is 60).

Age Fixed Payment Rate
60 4.8%
65 5.3%
70 5.8%
75 6.5%
80 7.5%
85 8.4%
90 9.8%

For example, a 70-year-old alumna who contributes $50,000 toward a charitable gift annuity would receive $2,900 annually for her lifetime.

These gifts may also provide significant tax savings. For more information, including a personalized gift illustration, contact Joseph Hefta, development officer, at (518) 833-1831 or by e-mail at jhefta@emmawillard.org.
