Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity with the Edmundite Missions allows you to help feed hungry children and at the same time receive financial benefits for yourself or a loved one.
How A Charitable Gift Annuity Works:
- You transfer cash or stock to the Missions in a charitable gift annuity of $5,000 or more.
- You support the Missions.
- You receive fixed payments – based on your age – for your entire lifetime.
- You may enjoy tax benefits.
- Your gift becomes an expression of your love of children after your lifetime.
A charitable gift annuity provides a guaranteed fixed payment, a charitable gift deduction and helps the children of rural Alabama.

Wills
A will or bequest can specify all or part of your estate or a designated amount of money or an asset—such as real estate or stocks—to the Missions. A will is a lasting and simple way to provide steady support and show your love for some of the poorest children in the country. By including the Edmundite Missions in your will, you are sharing your heart of love for the poor and you are guaranteeing that good work you fostered while living continues far into the future.
Please join hands with Edmundite Missions in helping children today and tomorrow. Your Will ensures the future of the Edmundite Missions.

IRA Giving Act through 2009
Those who wish to give a larger gift from IRA earnings can do so through the Economic Act of 2008, authorized by Congress. The Act allows individuals who are 70 1/2 years and older to donate their Individual Retirement Account earnings to a 501 ©(3) nonprofit organization, like the Edmundite Missions. The giving limit is $100,000.
The Missions receives 100 percent of the gift to minister to the children, families and elders we serve in the South.
The donor does not have to report the transferred amount as taxable income. Many older Americans are taking advantage of this giving option. This IRA Gift opportunity is scheduled to end December 31, 2009.
More Options
You can also include the Mission as the beneficiary of life insurance, retirement plans, savings and brokerage accounts. Check with your financial advisor for more information.
