Review Retirement Income Options

With most retirement plans, the contributions made by you and your employer are limited. Wouldn’t you prefer a plan that has NO contribution limits, yet is still tax deductible and ensures a solid stable income for the rest of your life? American Bible Society offers such a plan—the Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity—the benefits of which are listed below:

  • Unlimited Contributions. The amounts you contribute in preparing for your future needs are not restricted. You can create one or more deferred gift annuities beginning at age 40. Advisors click here for more technical information.
  • Eternal Impact Today. No other plan provides for sharing God’s Word around the world.
  • Stability. You are assured secure annual income for the remainder of your life.
  • Higher Income. By deferring your payments until a later date, you can increase the payout rate significantly. Your payout rate will be based on your age when you establish the gift annuity and the number of years you defer your income.
  • Tax saving. With an American Bible Society deferred gift annuity, you receive an immediate income tax deduction in the year of the gift. The longer you defer the income, the higher the income tax deduction.
  • Great Flexibility. You choose the year you want your income to begin. (The minimum age to begin the income is 50.)
  • Funding Options. You may fund a deferred gift annuity with cash and appreciated stocks, bonds or real estate. (There are limitations and costs to fund with real estate, however.)
