Deferred Gift Annuity

As a younger donor still in high-earnings years, you are still saving for retirement and also trying to lower your taxable income.



How It Works

  • You transfer cash or securities to The Oregon State University Foundation. Our suggested minimum gift requirement is $25,000.
  • Beginning on a specified date in the future, The Oregon State University Foundation begins to pay you, or up to two annuitants you name, fixed annuity payments for life.
  • Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least 65 to begin receiving payments and must be at least 40 to fund the gift.
  • The remaining balance passes to OSU when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • Deferral of payments permits a higher annuity rate and generates a larger charitable deduction.
  • You can target your annuity payments to begin when you need them, such as retirement.
  • The longer you elect to defer payments, the higher your payment will be.
