Would you like to secure a lifetime income stream later in your life? The charitable gift annuity, offered by the National Spiritual Assembly, allows Bahá’ís to leave a material legacy to the Faith while ensuring a fixed lifetime income. Also, newly passed legislation the “Legacy IRA Act”, which allows individuals age 70 ½ and older to make a one-time qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from their traditional IRA to fund a charitable gift annuity, may provide a benefit to those who qualify. To learn more, please contact plannedgiving@usbnc.org or call 847-733-3569.
Please note: the charitable gift annuity is not available in Washington state, New Jersey, or Alabama.
