Charitable Gift Annuity

Gifts That Pay You Income

Support the University of Dayton with a charitable gift annuity and feel confident that you have dependable income in your retirement years.

With a charitable gift annuity you agree to make a gift to the University and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life. The balance is used to support our work.

You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits depending on how you fund your gift. If you fund your gift annuity with cash or appreciated property, you may qualify for a federal income tax deduction if you itemize. In addition, you can minimize capital gains taxes when you fund your gift with appreciated property like stocks or mutual funds.

And now, you can fund your gift using your IRA assets. If you are 70½ and older, you can make a one-time election of up to $53,000 to fund a gift annuity. While your gift does not qualify for an income tax deduction, it does escape income tax liability on the transfer and count toward all or part of your required minimum distributions.

Nine Girls. One House. Countless Lives Impacted.

When Pat Kuss '66 and her roommates set up the 321 Scholarship, they intended to pass on the best of their college experience to others. The roommates named the scholarship "321" after the Kiefaber Street address where they lived. She and her husband, Ted, chose a charitable gift annuity (CGA) to make their gift because they wanted to make a significant impact on while also having the security of a reliable income in retirement. CGAs can help accomplish both goals. As Kuss explained, “We believe at UD we rise with the help of others and we wanted to continue to provide the type of community and hands-on experiences my roommates and I had to future students.” Read more of her story
