A Gift with an Annual Income
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a good solution if you would like to receive a fixed income for life and make a meaningful contribution in support of programming on SCETV and SC Public Radio. Capital gains taxes will be reduced or deferred, depending on your financial situation.
With a CGA, you make a gift of cash or marketable securities. In return, the ETV Endowment makes fixed payments for life to one or two individual payees age 70 or older. Any remaining funds become a gift to the ETV Endowment. Minimum gift—$15,000.
