Gift Annuity Program with Kosciusko County Community Foundation

Cardinal Center has partnered with the Kosciusko County Community Foundation (KCCF) to offer a charitable gift annuity program to benefit the Cardinal Center Endowment Fund at KCCF. A gift annuity can provide a fixed income for as long as you live and may offer tax advantages. Income rates for the gift annuity program are as follows:

Age Rate Age Rate
60 5.7% 80 8.0%
65 6.0% 85 9.5%
70 6.5% 90 11.3%

A minimum investment of $5,000 is required. You are encouraged to consult your attorney or advisor to determine if a gift annuity is the right type of gift for you. If it is right for you, please contact Candy Townsend at (574) 371-1344 or e-mail candyt@cardinalcenter.org.
(Thanks to the Kosciusko County Community Foundation for providing much of this information.)
