A Charitable Gift Annuity is one of the simplest and most popular methods of making a deferred charitable gift to CIDI. Through a Gift Annuity, you can make a gift today in exchange for a current lifetime income – what is called a “life interest.” CIDI will receive what is left after your lifetime – a charitable remainder interest.  A Charitable Gift Annuity entitles you to a charitable income tax deduction in the year your gift is made.
