Gift Planning

Making History Impact Annuity

Like a charitable gift annuity (CGA) this new giving vehicle provides guaranteed payments to you or a loved one.  It’s an easy way for you to supplement your retirement income, and it’s a gift that can provide tax advantages while most importantly supporting the Wharton School.  The Making History Impact Annuity provides a way for your gift to have an immediate impact.  In exchange for a gift of $25,000 or more the University will provide guaranteed lifetime annuity payments at an attractive rate.  You designate one of the Wharton priorities to receive the first five years of payments.*  Thereafter, you enjoy the advantage of the annuity payments.  On termination of the annuity, the balance again supports Wharton.

Benefits of an Impact Annuity:

•  Immediate support for The Campaign for Wharton

•  Supplement retirement income

•  Attractive rates of return based on age of annuitant

•  Guaranteed payments backed by the assets of the University

•  Greater immediate charitable income tax deduction, given that the first five years of gift payments are included in the current charitable deduction

*Optional three year payment commitment for ages 75 and older
