CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY

A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract between you and SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation.

In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash, securities, or other assets, SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation agrees to pay one or two annuitants you name a fixed sum each year for life. The older your designated annuitants are at the time of the gift, the greater the fixed income SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation can agree to pay. In most cases, part of each payment is tax-free, increasing each payment's after-tax value.

Payments may be made annually, semiannually, or quarterly.

EXAMPLE:

If you irrevocably transfer $50,000 in cash to SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation in exchange for a $3,700 annuity for an annuitant, age 72.

BENEFITS INCLUDE:

1) You will qualify for a federal income tax deduction of approximately $15,479. Your deduction may vary modestly depending on the timing of your gift. Note that deductions for this and other gifts of cash and non-appreciated property will be limited to 50% of your adjusted gross income. You may, if necessary, take unused deductions of this kind over the next five years, subject to the same 50% limitation.

2) Your designated annuitant will receive fixed payments in quarterly installments totaling $3,700 each year for life. In addition, $2,379.10 of each year's payments will be tax-free for the first 14.5 years.

3) Your estate may enjoy reduced probate costs and estate taxes.

4) You will provide generous support of SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
