The Lutheran Community Foundation

As a special incentive to professional advisors and their clients, the LCF is increasing its charitable gift annuity rate beginning June 1, 2010 – one month earlier than most charities that follow rates prescribed by the American Council on Gift Annuities.

A charitable gift annuity allows a donor to make a charitable gift and receive payments for life backed by the LCF.

After the gift annuitant's life, the remainder of the gift annuity will go to the donor's choice of funds at the Foundation, benefiting charities or areas of charitable work selected by the donor.

Who’s your target market for a charitable gift annuity?  The ideal client is someone who:

• Is charitably inclined, yet needs income payments now.
• Owns assets that could be converted to ongoing fixed income payments.
• May have concerns about market volatility.
• May benefit from retirement income planning.
