Charitable Gift Annuit

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple way to support a cause you care about—while also creating reliable income for yourself (or a loved one).

Here’s how it works:

You make a gift to a nonprofit like the Fresno Aquarium, and in return, you receive fixed payments for life.

• Payments are guaranteed and never change
• A portion of the income may be tax-free
• You may receive an immediate charitable tax deduction
• After your lifetime, the remaining funds support the mission you chose

It’s a steady, predictable way to give—especially for those who want to make a meaningful contribution while maintaining financial security.

For many, it becomes a way to turn a single act of generosity into both lifetime income and a lasting legacy.

As always, it’s best to talk with your financial advisor to see if a Charitable Gift Annuity fits your goals and when you're ready, call Tom Lang, executive director, at 559-490-3474 to set it up.
