Planned Giving
Charitable Gift Annuities
In exchange for your gift of $10,000 or more, Emma Willard agrees to provide you (or another beneficiary) with a fixed amount of income annually for the lifetime of the beneficiary. Rates are based on age (minimum age is 60).
| Age | Fixed Payment Rate |
| 60 | 5.7% |
| 65 | 6.0% |
| 70 | 6.5% |
| 75 | 7.1% |
| 80 | 8.0% |
| 85 | 9.5% |
| 90 | 11.3% |
For example, a 70-year-old alumna who contributes $50,000 toward a charitable gift annuity would receive $3,250 annually for her lifetime.
These gifts may also provide significant tax savings. For more information, including a personalized gift illustration contact Michele Susko, Associate Director of Advancement at (518) 833-1788 or by e-mail at msusko@emmawillard.org.
