Gifts the Provide You Income/Security

There are several options for donating real property that the SETI Institute will use to fund its work. Donate your land now, or leave it to the SETI Institute after your lifetime through your will or trust. You may also be able to donate a remainder interest that allows you to continue using your property for the rest of your life or transfer your property into a charitable remainder trust that provides you with income for the rest of your life.

Common Income-Producing Gift Examples:

A Charitable Remainder Trust
(or CRT)

enables you to preserve or improve your financial security and make a future gift to the SETI Institute. There are two kinds of CRTs—one yielding variable income and one yielding fixed income. Under either of these trust arrangements, income may be distributed to you, a spouse, or another beneficiary of your choice.

A Charitable Gift Annuity

can be attractive, offering interest rates often above certificates of deposit and other money-market rates. The payouts are contractually fixed so they will not fluctuate in volatile economic times. Charitable gift annuities offer stable guaranteed lifetime payouts for income recipients, charitable deductions for contributors, and future financial security for nonprofits such as the SETI Institute.
