A gift annuity is an agreement between you and The Salvation Army. In exchange for your irrevocable gift, The Salvation Army pays a fixed dollar amount during your life and/or the life of a designated loved one. The amount you receive is determined by the size of your gift, your age and the age of your beneficiary. Your income is guaranteed, regardless of market fluctuation. A major portion of your income is a tax-exempt return of principal and the income may be deferred until a later time as part of your retirement plan.
To send a gift or to include The Salvation Army in your will or estate, please use the following bequest language: “For the use and benefit of The Salvation Army located at 20 South Ferry Street, Albany, NY 12202.”
