Charitable Gift Annuities
You can feed and care for animals in need while creating reliable retirement income by establishing a charitable gift annuity to benefit Lollypop Farm.
How it works:
- You make a gift of at least $20,000 to Lollypop Farm.
- You receive fixed payments for life, at an attractive payment rate.
- Your gift benefits you now and carries on your love for animals for years to come.
How you Benefit:
- Your payment will never change, and payment rates can go as high as 9.1%, depending on your age (you must be 55 or older).
- Gift annuities are an ideal way to provide financial security for you and a loved one.
- You may qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize.
- You may avoid some capital gains tax when you use appreciated stock to fund your gift annuity.
- You can convert a low yielding asset (like bank deposits, securities, etc.) into reliable payments at a more attractive rate.
Charitable Remainder Trusts

Benefits include:
- A gift that is made during your lifetime or created through your will.
- Tax Savings realized with a charitable gift receipt.
