Give the Gift that Pays you Back
When you create a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) with Western New England University (WNE) you receive fixed payments for life, while providing for future generations of students.
The amount you receive depends upon your age when you make your gift and will not change during your lifetime. Under a new law, you can now use your IRA QCD to fund a charitable gift annuity, once over the course of your life.
Some other benefits include:
- Generous annuity rates
- Fixed income for one or two annuitants
- A charitable deduction in the year of your gift
- You support the future of WNE
