Charitable Gift Annuities

With interest rates at historic lows, even many CDs and securities are generating little income.

But there is good news!

You can turn these low-interest assets into high-interest, high-impact assets by establishing a charitable gift annuity (CGA). A CGA is an agreement between you and Wycliffe Foundation. In exchange for your gift of an asset valued at $10,000 or more, we will provide you with lifetime income, a charitable tax deduction, and the opportunity to impact the work of Bible translation.

Charitable Lead Trusts

The charitable lead trust (CLT) is a powerful planning tool that can enable you to pass wealth to family members, reduce or eliminate gift and estate taxes, and establish a significant charitable gift to impact the work of God’s Kingdom. Read more: Charitable Lead Trusts.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is an arrangement where a donor receives income from an asset they donate to a qualified charitable organization, such as Wycliffe Foundation. A CRT may be set for a fixed period, or it may be tied to a donor’s lifetime. It may also be designed to extend beyond the donor’s life, in order to benefit heirs or assigns. Whatever the arrangement, once the trust is terminated, the remaining asset reverts to the organization. Read more: Charitable Remainder Trusts.
