Flexible Gift Annuity

Flexible Gift Annuity


How It Works

  • You transfer cash or securities to Samford. Our suggested minimum gift requirement is $0.
  • You select a range of dates in the future (window) when you will want to begin paying you, or up to two annuitants you name, fixed annuity payments for life.
  • During the payment window, you request the start of payments.
  • Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least to begin receiving payments and must be at least to fund the gift.
  • The remaining balance passes to when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • Deferral of payments permits a higher annuity rate and generates a larger charitable deduction. The deduction is calculated based upon the first date in your window on which you could elect to start payments.
  • You can target your annuity payments to begin when you need them, such as retirement.
  • The longer you elect to defer payments, the higher your payment will be.
