Charitable Gift Annuities* — a gift that pays you back.
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract between you and Adventist Frontier Missions whereby AFM agrees to make monthly or quarterly payments to you (or your designee) in exchange for a charitable gift, usually of $10,000 or more. The charitable gift may be in the form of cash or stocks and bonds.
The payment amount is determined by the size of the gift and the age of the annuitant. The older the annuitant the higher the payment amount will be. This amount never fluctuates and is guaranteed for the rest of their life.
Benefits
Charitable Gift Annuities are excellent for someone who:
- Wants to support Great Commission work,
- Would like to receive a guaranteed fixed income for life, and
- Is unhappy with current CD rates or the volatility in the stock market.

Example 1:
Tom and Betty were thrilled when the stock market rebounded from the recent recession. They were frustrated with the uncertainty it offered but were just as disappointed with the rates of CDs at their local bank. They contacted AFM and learned that they could make a gift of $20,000 that would benefit the Lords work while simultaneously providing them with guaranteed fixed payout rate much higher than CDs were paying.
Example 2:
Max and Irene wanted to support the Lords work and, at the same time, give a gift to their son, Bill. They contacted AFM about doing a gift annuity and making their son, Bill, the annuitant. Max and Irene were thrilled to know that while making a difference for the Lords work Bill would receive a gift from them even after they are gone every quarter for as long as Bill lives.
