    Give a Charitable Gift Annuity: Income for Life

    By creating a charitable gift annuity at Golden West Foundation, you can generate income for yourself or a loved one, and provide a significant gift to Golden West Foundation at your death.

    Benefits: This is a great way to provide a secure and stable income for you or a loved one. Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income, part capital gains income (15%), and part tax-free income.  You also have the satisfaction of making a gift to Golden West Foundation now and for the future.

    How it works: Transfer cash or security to Golden West Foundation and we will pay your or your designee a life-time annuity based on your age.  We accept annuity gifts of $10,000 or more and our minimum age is 65.  When the contract ends, the principal passes to Golden West Foundation to fund our work for seniors of Boulder County.

    Please contact John Torres for more information about creating a gift annuity at 303-939-0897.


    Make a Bequest Gift: Leave a Legacy

    After you have provided for your loved ones, consider leaving a charity like the Golden West Foundation in your plans.  A bequest will provide crucial funds for the seniors of the future.

    Benefits:  This is an easy way to leave a legacy to the Golden West Foundation.  Your assets remain under your control until death and you can direct your gift exactly as you want.  You may also be eligible for an estate tax deduction, depending on the size of your estate, and there is no upper limit on the estate tax deduction for charitable bequests, like those to Golden West Foundation.
