It seems almost too good to be true, but that is exactly what a life income plan from The Fuller Center through Mennonite Foundation does. You give a gift to charity, then receive payments for the rest of your life.

Advantages

• Receive lifetime payments.
• Create tax savings.
• Fund with cash, securities, or real estate.
• Provide for loved ones.
• Support your favorite charities.

How it works

A life income plan from The Fuller Center through Mennonite Foundation allows you to make a gift to charity and get income from the assets you donate. How do we do it? We invest the proceeds from your gift as long as you are living. The income from that investment is paid to you. After your death, the balance goes to The Fuller Center and other approved charities based on your recommendations. A modest annual service charge, generally from earnings, helps cover administrative costs.

Unique features

Gift Annuity – A portion of the annuity payment is tax-free income.

Deferred Gift Annuity – You make a gift now and get an income tax deduction, but annuity payments are deferred until a later date at a higher rate.

Annuity Trust – The amount of your payment remains the same for life based on the donor’s age and projected earnings of the trust.

Unitrust – Trust assets are revalued annually. The payment is based on the most recent valuation.

Pooled Income Fund I – A trust somewhat like a mutual fund. Your gift and the gifts of others are invested in long-term securities so the income is very stable.

Pooled Income Fund II – A trust similar to a money market fund. In-vestments are in short-term securities so earnings fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
