About Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a unique way to support Goodwill Works Foundation while also taking care of yourself or a loved one. When you make a gift, you’ll receive guaranteed, fixed income for life—and your generosity will help fund life-changing education and career services for years to come.
It’s a smart, meaningful way to turn your legacy into lasting opportunity. We’re excited to share this option with you so you can give with both heart and confidence.
Benefits
- Receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift
- Annuity payments are guaranteed for life, backed by a reserve and the assets of our organization
- Annuity payments are partially tax free, making them more valuable than fully taxable income of the same size
How it works
- Set up an annuity contract with our organization and transfer cash or securities as outlined in the agreement.
- We invest the assets and pay you (or up to two annuitants) fixed income for life, with the amount depending on the size of the transfer and the age of the annuitants.
- The remaining funds pass to us when the contract ends, creating a meaningful impact.

Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
