Gift Annuities Benefit Donors, Nonprofits

Parents or grandparents may consider funding a tuition annuity, whereby a gift annuity is created for a young child, with the donor deferring the payments until age 18, or when the child is expected to go to college. Some states such as New York do not permit this type of annuity.
