FOCUS ON
ON THE
THE FOUNDATION
FOUNDATION
FOCUS
National Philanthropy Day
Each year, non-profit organizations throughout the United States gather locally to honor
and recognize those that make their charitable work possible. Each year, each participating
non-profit has the opportunity of selecting one supporter to recognize. The Carmel
Foundation had the pleasure of honoring Gerda Rayne, a long-time supporter of both The
Carmel Foundation and Monterey Bay Village, at the National Philanthropy Day luncheon
held November 21, 2014.
Charitable Gift Annuities
How would you like to make a gift to The Carmel Foundation and in return receive a guaranteed fixed income for life?
In conjunction with the Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC), The Carmel Foundation is pleased to
offer charitable gift annuities to our donors. This is where age has an advantage with annuity rates that can exceed
interest rates currently offered by CDs at banks. For example, a 65-year old donor can receive a 4.7% income, a 75year old 5.8%, and a 90 year-old a whopping 9.0%.
There is a charitable deduction at the time the gift is made, and if a gift annuity is funded with appreciated stock,
there are additional tax savings. We recommend that you confer with your accountant or tax advisor about your
individual situation.
At the end of your lifetime, the principle remaining in the gift annuity would be placed into an endowment for The
Carmel Foundation that is managed by the CFMC and The Carmel Foundation would receive revenue from the
endowment in perpetuity.
A gift annuity for The Carmel Foundation is backed by the assets of our partner, CFMC (total assets $180 million).
Gift annuity rates for charities are set by the American Council on Gift Annuities, and nonprofits that offer them in
California are licensed by the state.
Gift annuities are a win-win for the donor and for The Carmel Foundation. The minimum amount to establish a gift
annuity is $25,000.
