A Gift that Provides You With Income
Would you like to make a gift in support of Common Cause Education Fund (CCEF) and would you like to receive income for the rest of your life?
If the answer to this question is “yes,” you will want to consider the establishment of a charitable gift annuity with Common Cause. This is a simple contract between you and Common Cause. You transfer cash or appreciated securities to Common Cause, and we pay you a fixed income for life—part of which is tax-free. In most instances, the income you receive from this gift will exceed the income you would receive from a stock dividend, certificate of deposit or U.S. Treasury note. You also receive an income tax deduction at the time of the transfer while providing future support to Common Cause. The minimum gift is $10,000, and the income you receive is based on your age. For one individual, you can receive as much as 11.3% and for two individuals 9.3%. Below are some of the rates we offer based on one life.
| Age | Annuity Rate |
| 60 | 5.7% |
| 65 | 6.0% |
| 70 | 6.5% |
| 75 | 7.1% |
| 80 | 8.0% |
| 85 | 9.5% |
| 90 | 11.3% |
