Charitable gift annuities

A charitable gift annuity can really make a difference in maintaining your standard of living!

Your personal savings should help you maintain your standard of living, but there is no guarantee. If you want to make sure your living conditions will markedly improve, you should consider contracting a charitable gift annuity.

In exchange for an irrevocable transfer of cash or property, L’ŒUVRE LÉGER’s charitable annuity offers many benefits:

  • You get a stable annuity income, despite any turbulence in the financial markets and whatever your lifespan will be.
  • You get an income for the rest of your life and will never have to worry whether you’ll have enough money to live on.
  • Your annuity income will be high and taxes on it, if any, will be low, depending on your age and gender.
  • You will receive a tax receipt for at least 20% of the assets transferred, which will be issued for the year in which you make your gift.
  • And last but not least, you will have the satisfaction of having improved not only your own living conditions but also those of needy people.
