Deerfield’s Charitable Gift Annuity ProgramCharitable Gift Annuity Agreement • September 20th, 2010
Contract Type FiledSeptember 20th, 2010A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to Deerfield, and still receive an income for yourself or others. It is a contract under which Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community, Inc., in return for a transfer of cash or other property, agrees to pay a fixed sum of money for a period measured by one or two lives. The person who contributes an asset for the annuity is called the "donor,” and the person who receives payments is called the "annuitant" or "beneficiary." Usually, the annuitant is also the donor, but this is not always true. The maximum number of annuitants is two, and payments can be made to them jointly or successively.
