How does a charitable gift annuity (CGA) work?

A charitable gift annuity provides a way for you, as a donor, to make an irrevocable gift to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, while at the same time providing a source of fixed income for life to you — or another recipient of your choosing.

  • When you sign an annuity agreement with a charity like St. Jude, you make a lump sum donation and take a partial tax deduction.
  • Once the lump sum is invested, you or a person of your choosing receive payments on a fixed schedule for life, per terms of the agreement.
  • After the recipient's lifetime, the charity receives the balance of the invested funds.

You can make a charitable gift annuity part of your legacy plans. Learn more about legacy giving at St. Jude.

Is a charitable gift annuity right for me?

A charitable gift annuity (CGA) might be right for you if you:

  • want to receive fixed payments for life that will not fluctuate.
  • have assets that would be advantageous to give away during your lifetime, such as cash or funds earning low interest rates, or appreciated securities.
  • want to reduce your current income taxes with an income tax charitable deduction.

Why give to St. Jude through a charitable gift annuity?

No bill icon
 

Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.

 
 
Twenty to eighty icon
 

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.

 
 
Children icon
 

Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you help give kids with cancer around the world that chance. Together, we can save more lives.
