Saving and charitable giving don’t have to be competing priorities. Enter the Newton-Wellesley charitable gift annuity!

The benefits of establishing a charitable gift annuity

A charitable gift annuity is simple. You make a gift to Newton-Wellesley of cash or appreciated securities, and Newton-Wellesley agrees to pay up to two individuals a fixed income for life. The payments never fluctuate and are not affected by changes in the economy or financial markets. Newton-Wellesley will give you a simple agreement for your records. Then just wait for the payments. In return for your gift, you will get an income tax charitable deduction for a portion of your gift. In almost every case some of your annuity payments will be partially tax-free for a time.
