Charitable Gift Annuity
Gifts That Pay You Income
There's a way for you to support a MultiCare program or foundation and feel confident that you have dependable income in your retirement years. You can do this with a charitable gift annuity.
With a charitable gift annuity, you agree to make a gift to to support the MultiCare program or foundation you care about and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life. The balance is used to support the program or foundation you choose.
This type of donation can provide you with regular payments for life and will provide better care in your community in the future. You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits, including a federal income tax charitable deduction if you itemize.

Delay Your Payments.
Your payments depend on your age at the time of the donation. If you are younger than 60, we recommend that you learn more about your options by downloading this FREE guide Deferred gift annuities: Plan now, benefit later.

An Example of How It Works
Dennis, 66, and Mary, 65, want to make a contribution to the MultiCare Foundation’s Hospice and Palliative Care fund but they also want to ensure that they have dependable income during their retirement years. They establish a $20,000 charitable gift annuity.
Based on their ages, they will receive a payment rate of 4.4%, which means that they will receive $880 each year for the remainder of their lives. They are also eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction of $6,819* when they itemize. Finally, they know that after their lifetimes, the remaining amount will be used to support our end of life care in their community.
*Based on a 3.6% charitable midterm federal rate. Deductions and calculations will vary depending on your personal circumstances.
