Gift Annuities and Pooled Income Gifts have the wonderful advantage of helping both the Society and the donor at the same time.

Gift Annuities provide the donor with four immediate advantages:

• First, a generous tax deduction is available in the year of the gift (or can be spread over several years),

• Second, you will receive a fixed payment from the Society at very attractive rates for as long as you and/or your second annuitant live.

• Third, generally a portion of your income from the Society is exempt from income taxes for a number of years following your donation.

You can calculate your income from a gift annuity to the Society by clicking on the calculator on the home page of this website. We use rates recommended by the American Council on Gift Annuities and you income is fully secured by the assets of the Society. Our gift annuity commitments to net asset ratio make us one of the most secure places to establish your gift annuity program.

Our Pooled Income Fund allows you to receive an income off of your gift during your lifetime at current market rates. It can be added to from time to time and provides excellent tax incentives as well.

For information on either the Gift Annuity Program or Pooled Income Fund, please contact Dr. Gallen, Reverend Fowlie, or Gary Melville at the United Methodist Foundation of New England.
