American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR): Best Assets for Giving

Cancer Fighters Charitable Gift Annuity Program

Why should you consider the Cancer Fighters Annuity Program?

It is Direct and Uncomplicated – You simply transfer cash or securities to the Institute in exchange for our written agreement to pay you, or you and another beneficiary, a specified annuity payment for as long as you live.

It is Safe and Secure – Our commitment to pay a lifetime annuity to you or you and another beneficiary is backed by a special reserve fund as well as by all the assets of the Institute.

It is Tremendously Important – Your participation will bring us all closer to the day when cancer is no longer such a terrible threat to our society.

The Gift That Gives Back

A gift annuity can offer substantial tax advantages. Because your gift eventually will be used to fund important cancer education and research programs, you can immediately deduct a portion of your gift as a charitable contribution on your income tax return.

With a gift annuity, you will receive a payment each year for the rest of your life. And in most cases the annuity income will be favorably taxed and will be much higher than you could receive from a certificate of deposit, money market account or similar investment.

An immediate payment gift annuity can begin at age 60 or older; a deferred annuity can be established beginning at age 50.
