Charitable Gift Annuity
Gift Diagram

How it works

#1

You transfer cash, securities or other property to The Nature Conservancy.

#2

The Nature Conservancy pays you, or up to two annuitants, a lifetime annuity.

#3

The principal passes to The Nature Conservancy after the lifetime of the income beneficiaries.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
  • Your lifetime annuity is backed by a reserve and the full assets of The Nature Conservancy.
  • Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income and part tax-free income. If the gift is funded with appreciated property, your annuity payments are also part capital gains income (15%).
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and The Nature Conservancy later.



A "Win-Win Situation"


Jim and Monique Simmonds discovered how easy it was to make a lasting gift to conservation by establishing a charitable gift annuity with The Nature Conservancy. In addition to supporting the natural world they love, their gift provided savings on taxes and a fixed stream of income for life. Read their story.

Smart Gift ... For You and For Nature


When Allan & Muriel Kotin established a charitable gift annuity with The Nature Conservancy, they supported conservation of the natural world, received significant tax benefits and provided themselves with a steady stream of income in return. For the Kotins it was “a no-brainer!”
