Charitable Gift Annuities
(Gift illustration)

How it works

You transfer cash or securities to Berkeley.

Berkeley pays you, or up to two annuitants you name, a lifetime annuity.

The principal passes to Berkeley when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
  • Your lifetime annuity is backed by a reserve and the full assets of Berkeley.
  • Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income, part tax-free income, and part capital gains income for gifts of securities (15%).
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and Berkeley later.
