What is a Deferred Gift Annuity? 

A Deferred Gift Annuity is a simple contract between you and a charity such as Clark University.  In exchange for an irrevocable gift, Clark agrees to make specified annual payments for life to one or two annuitants. The older you are at the time of the gift, and the longer the payments are deferred, the greater the fixed income we can agree to pay. 

When do the payments begin? 

The payments begin more than one year after the date of the annuity agreement. They are based on the original gift plus interest attributed to that gift over the deferral period and on the age (s) of the annuitant (s) on the date the payments start.  Top
