Is a Life Income Gift right for you?

Life income gifts enable you, your beneficiary, or both to receive a guaranteed income stream for life and make a lasting gift to the Kingdom of God. There are a variety of gift options to help you meet your planning goals.

To create a life income gift, you make an irrevocable gift of cash, securities, real estate, or other property to Mississippi Baptist Foundation. You typically receive a lifetime income stream in return. After your lifetime and/or the lifetime(s) of your designated beneficiaries, the remaining balance is used to support Mississippi Baptist Foundation.

You  receive a charitable income tax deduction the year you make your gift.

Benefits Include:

  • Receive Regular Income - Receive regular income payments for life (or a term of years)
  • Immediate Tax Savings - Receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year you make the gift
  • Save on Estate Taxes - Reduce or perhaps eliminate federal estate taxes
  • Save on Capital Gains Taxes - Avoid or reduce your capital gains taxes if you fund your gift with an appreciated asset
  • Leave a Legacy - Your gift will have lasting impact in fulfilling Mississippi Baptist Foundation’s mission
