Your Impact Will Continue Beyond Your Lifetime


Our team would be happy to speak with you about the many ways you can benefit from this type of gift while ensuring animals receive protection and advocacy for generations to come.

When you create a charitable gift annuity with PETA, you’re not just securing your financial future—you’re helping to create a world where all animals are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve. Your legacy will live on through every animal saved from suffering.

Charitable Gift Annuities

If you would like to receive significant tax benefits while making a gift that pays you—and/or a loved one—fixed payments for life, consider a PETA charitable gift annuity.

Benefits to you include:

You’ll receive reliable payments that never change.

You may save on taxes.

You are eligible for an immediate tax deduction.

You have the satisfaction of knowing that your gift will help create a better future for animals.

How Does It Work?

  • You donate U.S.-generated cash or securities worth $10,000 or more to PETA. You must be age 60 or older when your payments start.
  • You (and/or a second beneficiary) receive payments for life in return.
  • Your payment rate is based on your age and will never change, no matter how long you live or how the market fluctuates.
  • If you don’t need income right away or haven’t reached age 60, you can defer your payments for one year or more. The longer the deferral period, the higher your rate will be.
  • Make your gift by December 31, and you may be able to reduce your current year tax burden.
  • Avoid some capital gains taxes when you use appreciated securities to make your gift.

  • If you are age 70.5 or older, you may be able to make a one-time Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) of up to $53,000 from your IRA to fund a gift annuity.
