One Thing You Can Always Count On
While stocks may be down and unemployment up, there is one thing that has not changed - something
that can give you certainty, predictability and security in a topsy-turvy world.
Often, the things in life you can count on are not exciting or colorful. That’s the nature of
dependability. It’s just always there for you. Such is the case with the reliable and steady
charitable gift annuity.
The beauty of a charitable gift annuity is that it never changes. No matter what the economy does, the gift annuity remains the same. We could all use a little more of that right now, couldn’t we? Just as a gift annuity is incredibly reliable, it is undeniably simple to understand. It is based only your age when it is funded. It’s that simple. A gift annuity is a contract between you and the New Mexico Conference Methodist Foundation.
When you fund a gift annuity with us, we agree to pay you at a fixed rate for as long as you live. No matter how long you live or how the economy sways and swoons, your payments are secure and safe with us. The payment rates are higher than anything you’ll find with a CD. Just as we have always been there for you in the past, we will be here for you in the future.
Please call(800-678-8786), e-mail (sanford@nmcmfi.org), or visit www.nmcmfigift.org for more information. If something that is dependable, reliable and totally predictable has merit for you right now, then you will definitely want to learn more. When you do, you’ll also discover gift annuities have a second advantage. After a lifetime of payments to you, any funds remaining in the gift annuity go directly your favorite United Methodist Church or institution as a legacy in your name. That’s something you can count on, now and forever.
