Life income Gifts

Life income gifts enable donors to support both loved ones and a favorite charity through a single gift, while also:

  • yielding a charitable tax deduction,
  • providing an opportunity to save on capital gains taxes, and
  • removing assets from one's estate, ensuring they are not subject to estate taxes.

Charitable Lead Trust

Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity is a contract between a donor and the UA Foundation. In exchange for a gift of cash or appreciated stock, the UA Foundation agrees to make fixed payments to one or two individuals for life.

Payment rates are based on the age of the annuitant(s), as recommended by the American Council on Gift Annuities, and can begin immediately or be deferred. Upon the death of the annuitant(s), the balance of the principal is retained by the UA Foundation and directed to support a designation of your choice. Learn more
