CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES
What is a Charitable Gift Annuity?
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) allows you to make a charitable gift to LightHawk while also receiving fixed payments for life. By transferring cash or appreciated assets to LightHawk in exchange for a CGA, you can secure reliable income for yourself or a loved one, receive a current charitable tax deduction, and support our conservation mission. CGAs provide a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on conservation while also providing financial security.
