Charitable Trusts
How it works
- You transfer cash or securities to the SETI Institute.
- The SETI Institute pays you fixed payments for life.
- The principal passes to the SETI Institute when the contract ends.
Benefits
- You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
- Your annuity payments are guaranteed for life, backed by a reserve and the assets of the SETI Institute.
- Your annuity payments may be treated as part ordinary income, part capital gains income (15%), and part tax-free income, depending on the assets used to fund the annuity.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and the SETI Institute later.
