CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES

Why consider a charitable gift annuity through The Salvation Army?

* Dependable Fixed Income...You are assured of receiving

the same, secure income for the rest of your life at an attractive rate.

* Tax-Free Income...A portion of your income will be tax-free or taxed at

reduced rates.

* Tax Savings...You will qualify for an income tax deduction this year. If you fund the gift with appreciated assets (such as securities or property), you will also save on capital gains tax.

* Income now or later?...It is up to you, but the percentage will be fixed at a higher rate if you act now.

* Asset Diversification...Minimize your risk by maximizing your sources of income.

Lock-in a secure stream of income for life with a Salvation Army charitable gift annuity. Join one of the oldest and most trusted gift annuity programs in the country. The Salvation Armys popular and flexible gift annuity can increase your income with favorable tax results.
