Life Income Gifts
Charitable Remainder Trusts

How It Works: The New Work Foundation assists you transferring your cash to The Georgia Baptist Foundation in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed income (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life. Upon your death, the balance goes to your church, the New Work Foundation and/or a ministry of your choosing. Payout rates differ depending on one’s age.
Possible Benefits: Charitable tax deduction, fixed income for life, partial bypass of capital gains, and possible tax-free payments.
Life Estate Reserved
