Types of Gifts

Life income plans

By funding a life income plan with cash or securities, you can provide yourself and/or loved ones with income for life as well as income tax savings. The plans below also provide favorable capital gains treatment if funded with appreciated assets.

Gift annuities (fixed income): Earn a rate of up to 11.3 percent for life. Contribute cash or securities, and in turn, receive fixed income payments for life, plus attractive tax benefits. (Minimum contribution: $5,000.)  Read more about gift annuities.

Deferred payment gift annuities (fixed income): Supplement future retirement income and receive a tax deduction now. Your income payments begin at a future date that you specify. Because payments are deferred, you receive a higher annual payment, which may be used as a source of reliable retirement income. (Minimum contribution: $5,000.)  Read more about deferred gift annuities.

Charitable remainder annuity trust (fixed income): Provide fixed income payments for yourself and/or another beneficiary for life or a term of years. This individually managed trust may be tailored to meet your personal objectives. (Minimum contribution: $250,000.)  Read more about the charitable remainder annuity trust.

Charitable remainder unitrust (variable income): Provide variable income payments for yourself and/or another beneficiary for life or a term of years.

"Every child is our responsibility. I give everything I can to UNICEF. To help even one child is an enormous thing. This is my reward."

"UNICEF is serving children all over the world, and the food, nutrition, and safety of kids everywhere is very important to us. We feel that as more privileged Americans, we ought to be doing something to help. And we wanted to establish our gift so that it would promise something for the future."
