Charitable Gift Annuity

The Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a simple agreement between you and Pepperdine and provides you with guaranteed income for life. You donate cash, stock, or real estate directly to Pepperdine in return for Pepperdine’s promise to pay a fixed amount to you during your lifetime. The payout rate is determined based on your age at the time of the gift and when payments are set to begin. The older the beneficiary, the higher the rate.
