Deferred or Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity

Overview of Deferred or Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity process - details described below.

How It Works    

  1. You transfer cash, securities or other property to Penn Medicine.   
  2. Beginning on a specified date, Penn Medicine pays you, or up to two annuitants named by you, fixed annuity payments for life.   
  3. The remainder passes to Penn Medicine when the annuity ends.

Benefits

  • Deferral of payments permits a higher annuity payment rate and generates a larger charitable deduction.
  • You can target your annuity payments to begin when you need them, such as during retirement or when a grandchild needs help with tuition payments.
  • The longer you defer payments, the higher the effective rate you will receive.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now that benefits both you and Penn Medicine later.
