Planned Giving

Deferred Gift Annuity

As a younger donor still in high-earnings years, you are still saving for retirement and also trying to lower your taxable income.



How It Works

  • You transfer cash or securities. Our minimum gift requirement is $10,000.
  • Beginning on a specified date in the future, you, or up to two annuitants you name began to receive fixed annuity payments for life.
  • Indian River State College Foundation recommends that you are at least age 40 to fund the gift.
  • The remaining balance passes to Indian River State College Foundation when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • Deferral of payments permits a higher annuity rate and generates a larger charitable deduction.
  • You can schedule your annuity payments to begin when you need extra cash flow, such as retirement years.
  • Payments are guaranteed and fixed, regardless of fluctuations in the market.
  • The longer you elect to defer payments, the higher your payment will be.


Create a Lasting Legacy

Philanthropic planning is a powerful mechanism for meeting personal estate planning objectives while making a meaningful impact on the College’s initiatives and mission. At Indian River State College, we welcome the opportunity to work with estate planners to ensure that your clients find the charitable arrangements that best meet their needs.

Estate-planning options can achieve significant tax benefits while furthering a client’s philanthropic goals:

  • Gifts through a will or trust
  • Charitable trusts and gift annuities
  • Donation of stocks and mutual funds

If your client has already included or intends to include Indian River State College in their will or estate plan, or if you would like someone from IRSC Institutional Advancement to contact you to discuss how to support IRSC as part of their estate planning strategy, please contact us.
