Charitable Gift Annuity: Gift Example

You hold a stock portfolio that has appreciated well but only pays you 2% income per year. You are now 70, and you are concerned that if you sell some of the stock to reinvest in bonds, capital gains taxes will cut heavily into the proceeds. You want to make a gift of $50,000 to Children's Hospital, but you need the income that your portfolio provides you.

You are looking for a gift plan that will continue this income and increase it, if possible.

Cost Basis $20,000
