Make Gifts that Return a Life Income

Secure Income for You while spreading God's Word around the World!

For more than 165 years, we've provided thousands of people with a lifetime of secure payments through a choice of annuity payment plans. Your gift annuity is a unique way to support life-changing Bible ministry. Exchanging a gift of cash, stock, or bonds for personal income payments can last a lifetime.

Benefits of an American Bible Society Gift Annuity:

• A current income-tax deduction
• Higher payment rates than most CD's, which means higher income for life
• A portion of your income tax-free
• An immediate gift to share the Word of God
• The ability to make unlimited gifts for your retirement income needs
• Available deferment periods to increase both future income and current income-tax deductions
• A future gift to respond to ministry opportunities that help meet the ongoing need for Scriptures
