Do You Know the FWB Endowment?
A Charitable Gift Annuity is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to guarantee income for life, while also providing support for ministry. Through the FWB Foundation, you can make a lasting impact on the ministry you love, all while receiving steady payments and significant tax advantages.
When you establish a Charitable Gift Annuity, you transfer cash or appreciated assets to the Foundation in exchange for fixed, lifetime payments. The rate of return is based on your age, and much of the income may even be tax-free. Upon your passing, the remaining balance supports the ministry you designate – continuing your legacy of generosity.
Many Free Will Baptists have discovered that a Charitable Gift Annuity allows them to “give and receive” at the same time, yielding dependable income for life and eternal investment in God’s work. To learn more about how you can create a Charitable Gift Annuity through the FWB Foundation, call 877-336-7575 or visit fwbgifts.org.
