Retirement Planning: Unlimited Contributions with Boundless Giving
With most retirement plans the contributions made by you and your employer are limited (plans such as a 401(k), Roth plan, IRA, 403(b), SEP, or Keogh). Wouldn’t you prefer a plan that has NO contribution limits, yet is still tax deductible and ensures a solid stable income for the rest of your life? The American Bible Society offers such a plan, the Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity.
How would you benefit from a Deferred Gift Annuity?
- Unlimited Contributions: The amounts you contribute in preparing for your future needs are not restricted. You can create one or more Deferred Gift Annuities beginning at age 40. Advisors click here for more technical information.
- Eternal Impact Today: No other plan provides for sharing the Word of God all over the world, not only now but in the future.
- Stability: You are assured secure annual income for the remainder of your life.
- Higher Income: By deferring your payments until a later date, you can increase the payout rate significantly. Your payout rate will be based on your age when you establish the gift annuity and the number of years you defer your income.
- Tax savings: With an American Bible Society Deferred Gift Annuity, you receive an immediate income tax deduction in the year of the gift; the longer you defer the income, the higher the income tax deduction.
- Great Flexibility: You choose the year you want your income to begin. (The minimum age to begin the income is 50.)
- Funding Options: You may fund a Deferred Gift Annuity with cash and appreciated stocks, bonds or real estate.*
*There are limitations and costs to fund with real estate that may affect your decision.
Why a Deferred Gift Annuity with the American Bible Society?
Through a gift annuity, you support the mission of the Bible Society: to make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford so all people may experience its life-changing message. Commercial annuities don’t offer this unique opportunity to benefit the lives of people all over the world. Ask for a free brochure at giftplanner@americanbible.org.

Donors Lived Simply When Ernest E. Reeves died last May, at age 92, his neighbors had no idea that the retired farmer and his wife had given millions to the American Bible Society through gift annuities and matching gifts for the Opportunity 21 program-the most comprehensive scripture distribution project in history. They were, in fact, the largest donors in Bible Society history.
