Charitable Gift Annuity
 

Are you tired of watching your assets fluctuate with the markets?  Or perhaps you would like to make a special gift to Saint John’s Health Center, yet you would like to receive some income in return.  You can have peace of mind with a charitable gift annuity.  A charitable gift annuity can provide you with the security of fixed income for life and result in a generous gift to Saint John’s.   

Why do people love charitable gift annuities?  With gift annuity rates based on age, you might be surprised at how high your payment could be.  Your payment can begin now or be deferred to provide even higher income in the future.  Best of all, a portion of your income stream could be tax-free.   

If you have any questions about the benefits of establishing a charitable gift annuity for you or your loved ones, please contact Andy Trilling, Director of Planned Giving at (310) 449-5246 or email: Andy.Trilling@stjohns.org.  Your information is treated in complete confidence, and we are pleased to be able to provide this as a service to our friends and supporters.
