Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity

What is a Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity?

A flexible deferred gift annuity is a simple contract between you and Wooster.

In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash or securities, Wooster agrees to pay one or two annuitants a fixed sum each year for life, with payments starting at least one year after your gift. The annuitants may elect to start receiving payments on any one of a range of dates. These dates and their corresponding payment amounts must be listed in your agreement. The older you are at the time of the gift and the longer you elect to defer payments, the greater the fixed amount of income Wooster can agree to pay. In most cases, part of each payment is tax-free, increasing each payment's after-tax value.

Gift Range: $10,000 and More

Example

Lester Hauschild wants the assurance of income in the future, but he does not want to name a specific date now. He can purchase a flexible deferred gift annuity; this means later on he can select a specific date to begin income payments. The contract with the College must state a range of years during which the payments can begin.

  • Mr. Hauschild is 60 years old and gives the College $10,000 in exchange for a flexible deferred gift annuity. He requests a range of 10 years during which time the payments can begin.
  • If he elects to receive income five years out, he will receive $790 a year.
  • If he elects to receive income nine years out, he will receive $1,020 a year.

Regardless of the effective start date, he will get a charitable tax deduction at the time he makes the gift.
