Secure Your Future While Saving Animals’ Lives
Learn how a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) can provide you with reliable income while creating lasting change for animals.
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.
How a Charitable Gift Annuity Works
- You donate cash or appreciated securities worth $10,000 or more to PETA. In return, you and/or another beneficiary will receive fixed payments for life.
- Your payment rate is based on your age (payments start at age 60 or later) and will never change.
- A portion of your payments will be tax-free.
- The older you are — or the longer you defer starting your payment — the higher your payments will be.
Benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity
Payment rates can now go as high as 10.1 percent, depending on your age (you must be 60 or older). If you don’t need the income immediately, you can schedule payments to begin at least one year after your donation. The longer the deferral period, the higher your payment rate.
