A Gift That Gives Back
You may be able to significantly increase your annual income through a Charitable Gift Annuity. With a Charitable Gift Annuity, you make a gift that pays you an income for life or the lives of you and your spouse. The rate of return is based on your age at the time of your gift.

When you establish a Charitable Gift Annuity, you receive a charitable deduction for a portion of the gift. In addition, a portion of your annual income from the Gift Annuity is tax-free. After you are gone, the remainder of the gift goes to Guiding Light Mission or any other charities you select. A Charitable Gift Annuity may be the answer for you. With a Charitable Gift Annuity you get:
- Increased Income
- Tax Deduction
- Annual Payments (partially tax-free)
- Increased Kingdom Impact
