Charitable Gift Annuities

 

There is a way for you to support Operation Mobilization and feel confident that you have dependable income in your retirement years. You can do this with a charitable gift annuity. 

OM Canada partners with Link Charity, a Canadian leader in issuing agreements, and one of the very few charities able to distribute proceeds to any beneficiaries of the annuitant’s choosing.

Link Charity is the number one distributor of charitable annuities Canada-wide because they are the only company that allows you to gift your annuity to as many charities as you wish.

With a charitable gift annuity, you agree to make a gift to OM through Link Charity and they, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life. The remaining balance on your passing is used to support our work.

This type of donation can provide you with regular payments for life and allow OM to further our mission. You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits, including an income tax charitable deduction.

Charitable Gift Annuities will give you many benefits:

• Guaranteed income for the rest of your life
• Attractive payment rates for life
• No management required
• Tax advantages – all, or most of your gift annuity income is tax exempt
• An immediate tax receipt of 20-25% of the capital amount
• Single life and joint life agreements available
• At the end of life, the remainder of your annuity capital becomes a gift for your favourite charities
