Updating my will via Freewill.com allowed me to not only get a new will but also gave me an opportunity to include Feeding San Diego in my legacy plan. Giving back is important to me, and I also like to support local organizations. Food is such a basic human need, and anything I can do to help nourish others aligns with who I am, so I am grateful to be able to do this.

Ways to Give
Income for Life: Understanding Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract between you, Feeding San Diego, and Feeding America.
In exchange for your contribution of $10,000 or more, Feeding America agrees to make fixed income payments for life to you or a beneficiary of your choice.
The beneficiary must be at least 65 years old. After the beneficiary passes away, the remaining annuity value passes to Feeding San Diego.
How CGAs Work
- You transfer at least $10,000 in cash, publicly traded securities, or IRA assets to Feeding America and choose Feeding San Diego to receive the remaining principal.
- Feeding America sets up a charitable giving annuity for free.
- You receive an immediate tax deduction on a portion of the initial contribution.
- Feeding America commits to paying fixed payments to you or your chosen beneficiary for life. The payment amount depends on your age.
- You feel satisfaction knowing you will be helping end hunger in San Diego.
Benefits of a CGA
- Your income is fixed and is not affected by market turbulence.
- Income may be directed to you or a loved one.
- The annuity may help to supplement your cash flow.
- You may qualify for a tax-deductible donation for a portion of the contribution.
- A portion of the income may be tax-free throughout your life expectancy.
- You may receive a capital gains tax advantage if you fund the annuity with long-term appreciated assets.
- The remainder will be used for the long-term benefit of the community.
Note: Younger donors may want to consider a deferred gift annuity.
By establishing a deferred charitable gift annuity, you can make a charitable contribution now but postpone receiving income until you are 65 or older.
If you are still working and do not need income now, a deferred annuity may help you supplement the payments that you receive from your qualified retirement plan and/or Social Security during your retirement.
