 Presbyterian Foundation Offers Innovative Gift ProgramAs with conventional gift annuity programs, the foundation's new charitable gift annuity program provides the donor with an attractive lifetime income, but under the new program, in most cases, the gift portion will be made available to the charity named by the donor immediately. This approach allows the donor to witness the impact of their giving during their lifetime. The charity receives an immediate gift which is always welcome. More information. Contact regional foundation development officers Lisa Tait Longo (Indianapolis, 800-710-5094) or Karen Krum (Wheaton, Ill., 888-751-9222) for details. |
