Charitable Gift Annuity for Home

The Charitable Gift Annuity for Home (CGA for Home) is a simple agreement between you and Pepperdine and provides you with guaranteed income for life. You retain control and use of your home for your life and begin receiving a guaranteed annuity payment in return for deeding the remainder interest in your property to Pepperdine. The payout rate is based on your age at the time of the gift and when payments are to begin.
