The past year and a half has given us renewed perspective on what matters most. For many, that includes the well-being of ourselves and loved ones, financial stability and supporting causes that make a difference.

In times like these, a charitable gift annuity is a great option for many individuals and couples who want to support Duke’s mission while enjoying the security of a fixed income for life, regardless of market performance.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

1. Enjoy fixed payments for life to help provide security for you or your loved ones. 
2. Support the Duke people, places and programs that matter most to you. 
3. Receive a one-time tax deduction for a portion of your gift. 
4. Direct your gift to support multiple areas at Duke. 
5. Create an endowment in your name or the name of a loved one, or add to existing endowments. 
6. Choose a flexible charitable gift annuity if you are seeking a charitable tax deduction now and a strategic way to increase income down the road. With this type of gift annuity, you decide when to start receiving your fixed payments in the future.
