Charitable Gift Annuities

RedRover does not have the means to navigate charitable gift annuities so we have partnered with CGA America who manages these transactions for us.

A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a contract between you and RedRover, where you transfer cash or other assets to CGA America and designate RedRover as the beneficiary. CGA America then pays you an annuity based on the agreed upon terms of the contract.



How do charitable gift annuities work?


First, you make a donation to a RedRover through CGA America. Then, the gift is set aside in a reserve account and invested. Based on your age(s) at the time of the gift, you will receive a fixed monthly or quarterly payout (typically supported by the investment account) for the rest of your life. At the end of your life (as well as your spouse’s, if you’re giving as a couple), RedRover will receive the remainder of the gift.

Thank you for considering making RedRover a beneficiary for your charitable gift annuity. Your gift will help make the future a better place for animals!
