Whether you’re 25 or 65, retirement is coming sooner than you think. As I personally see retirement looming on the horizon and consider my monthly income needs, I feel more pressed to accurately answer questions such as:

• Will I really have enough monthly income to maintain my standard of living during retirement?
• From what sources will my income be derived?
• What income will be available for my spouse each month if I die first?
• Is there some planning alternative I am not considering?

I know I am not alone in pondering these questions. If you are now retired, you are already facing the urgency of finding the best answers for you and your family.

That’s where we come in.

Since 1843, American Bible Society has provided a trusted retirement income solution: a charitable gift annuity.

What is a charitable gift annuity?

A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is an agreement with American Bible Society, backed by required reserves and all of the assets of American Bible Society. It is also confirmed by a 173-year history of reliable payments.

A CGA allows you to make a gift of cash or marketable securities in exchange for the additional fixed income you may need for as long as you live. If you do not need the income right now, it can be deferred until you do need it.

A CGA with American Bible Society offers a very competitive return, with a portion being tax-advantaged. It provides stable income for you, a spouse, as well as possibly your children and grandchildren through your estate plan. You may receive the income quarterly, semiannually or annually. If your gift is $10,000 or more, you may also elect to receive monthly income.

Importantly, the charitable gift annuity enables you to be remembered as leaving a Bible legacy that will impact lives for eternity when you go home to be with the Lord—truly a win-win situation.
