Campaign Have your cake and eat it too: Secure a guaranteed fixed income rate with a charitable gift annuity from Norwich By establishing a charitable gift annuity you make an irrevocable gift to Norwich in exchange for a current tax deduction for a portion of the gift and a guaranteed fixed income stream for life. In the current investment environment the gift annuity rates are very competitive and lock in a guaranteed return for life. For details and current rates, visit the Online Community at www.alumni.norwich.edu/ fixedrate CHARITABLE IRA ROLLOVER LAW RENEWED! The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 renewed the provision to allow individuals to make charitable contributions tax-free using retirement assets. This legislation replaced the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and will allow tax-free contributions of up to $100,000 per year for individuals aged 70 ½ and older. For more information please contact Priscilla Gilbert, Director of Planned Giving at (802) 485-2301 or pgilbert@norwich.edu or visit www.alumni.norwich.edu/ charitableIRA.
