We are living in uncertain times, and many of the people who call our office are concerned about planning wisely: they want to make a gift to The Quiet Hour to help others learn to trust the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and they want to make sure they have enough to live on in later years.

Here’s an idea to consider: Let’s say, for example, that you have money in CDs that, at the end of your life, you plan to donate for ministry purposes. Why not consider a Charitable Gift Annuity? You will receive excellent rates (presently as high as 11.3 percent) depending on your age at the time of the gift. Plus you have the security of guaranteed payments for life.

One of the best features of The Quiet Hour’s Charitable Gift Annuity is the relief you’ll feel knowing your money is secure—not affected by unpredictable business conditions or fluctuations in the financial markets.

And it’s convenient. Payments are sent regularly and promptly. Even if you lose your annuity contract, or if it’s stolen or destroyed, your annuity payments will continue as usual. A duplicate of your contract will be issued to you upon request. So even if the unexpected happens, you know that your payments will continue.

The Quiet Hour confidently supports the following required statement and encourages prospective donors to give it consideration:

THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. ANY PROSPECTIVE DONOR SHOULD SEEK THE ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED ESTATE AND/OR TAX PROFESSIONAL TO DETERMINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OR HER GIFT. Payments made under a charitable gift annuity are backed solely by the full faith and credit of the issuing organization, are not insured or guaranteed by an insurance company, are not protected by any insurance guaranty association and are not backed in any way by the states.
