A Brighter Future Lies in Trust
You can create a special kind of trust today—a charitable remainder trust—that will have a vital impact on your future . . . and help hasten Jesus’ return.

Just what is a charitable remainder trust?  Basically, it is an account in which you irrevocably place highly appreciated securities, real estate, or cash, but keep a specific income—usually for life. When the trust ends, the funds in the trust pass to Hope Channel to send the Gospel directly into people’s homes. When you choose to “accelerate” your gift by means of a trust instead of a will, Congress says you are entitled to a substantial charitable income tax deduction. Depending upon how you arrange your trust, many other advantages are possible:

• Increased income for your family
• Capital gains tax avoidance
• Estate tax savings
• Professional investment of your funds
• A hedge against inflation
• Meaningful support for Hope Channel

A Charitable Gift Annuity—A Win-Win for You and Hope Channel
Would you like to increase your monthly income so you have the ability to increase your support of Hope Channel’s 24/7 life-changing, soul-saving television ministry? THERE IS A WAY. No, it’s not a “get rich quick” scheme but an IRS recognized instrument called a Charitable Gift Annuity.

It is an extraordinary way to make a gift, increase your income and cut your tax bill—all in one easy transaction!  The pay-out rate is age dependent and reaches 11.3% for our more senior supporters (even higher than 11.3% for the Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity). For many of our viewers the pay-out rate is TWO or more times their current CD rate at their bank. Call today for your age specific pay out rate.

Now let’s look at the tax savings of a Charitable Gift Annuity. A large part of your monthly income is U.S. federal income tax free. Another tax saving benefit is the large charitable deduction you receive when you obtain a Charitable Gift Annuity. What can you do with the deduction? Use it on this year’s income tax return and you may decrease your U.S. federal income taxes. With tax benefits like these, you could increase your support of Hope Channel with the U.S. government’s assistance!

We would be pleased to prepare a personalized color Charitable Gift Annuity proposal for you. You may contact our planned giving specialist, Dr. Al Navarro on our toll free line, 888-339-PLAN (7526).
