Charitable Gift Annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a wonderful way to give a gift and yet receive lifetime income. And a portion of your income stream is tax free.

The saying is true: “It’s better to give than to receive.”
But what if there was a way to both give AND receive?
Charitable gift annuities make this possible.
When you establish a charitable gift annuity by gifting cash or stock to Child Evangelism Fellowship® you will receive an immediate tax deduction and then guaranteed fixed income for life. Your interest rate depends entirely on your age. The older you are when you fund a gift annuity, the higher the payment will be. For example, a single person who is 70 years old receives a payment rate of 6.3%. The rate for a single 80-year-old is 8.1%. (We follow the recommended rates set by the American Council on Gift Annuities.) Your interest rate is locked in for life. The minimum age is 65. The minimum investment amount is $25,000. An annuity can also be established as a joint annuity for two people.
How secure is my gift annuity?
A charitable gift annuity is as secure as the organization that issues it. Child Evangelism Fellowship partners with Barnabas Foundation for issuing and overseeing charitable gift annuities. When you establish a gift annuity with CEF® through Barnabas Foundation, you will receive Barnabas Foundation’s complete disclosure statement. Barnabas Foundation has been securing annuities for Kingdom-building ministries since 1976. The entire amount you contribute will be held in a gift annuity reserve fund to make your annuity payments.
A charitable gift annuity can be a blessing to both you and the ministry.
