Provide long-term support for Defenders of Wildlife and ensure you have the income you need in retirement with a charitable gift annuity.
If you are at least 60 years old, you have the option of creating a charitable gift annuity to receive fixed income for the rest of your life -- and the rest of a second beneficiary's life, if you choose.
Donate $10,000 or more to Defenders of Wildlife using cash or securities and with a signed contract Defenders will send you monthly, quarterly or annual payments that are partially tax-free. For the tax year of your initial donation, you will also receive an immediate partial income tax deduction based on the amount of your gift.
Defenders of Wildlife will receive the remaining balance when the agreement ends at the end of the last beneficiary's lifetime.
Effective January 1, 2023, charitable gift annuity rates have increased. Take advantage by creating a new annuity today!
Complete this form and we’ll send you an example of how a charitable gift annuity can benefit you. Contact the Planned Giving Team at 1-800-915-6789 or legacy@defenders.org to discuss this gift option further.
