l{yl Why do some people who already have a Masonic Homes charitable gift annuity obtain another one ... and another? There are at least three reasons: 1. Satisfaction... Most donors ease into their first gift annuity with Masonic Homes with a degree of concern. After all, this is a new arrangement for them and they wonder how well it will work. Will the payment amount be as promised? Will the checks arrive on time?
It doesn't take long for any uneasiness to vanish. Donors discover that they are having a positive experience. They learn that they can count on Masonic Homes to follow through. And this satisfaction draws them back for another annuity.
Gift annuities offer other advantages in addition to those mentioned above. If you have been thinking of making a planned gift to the Masonic Homes which now include the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown and the Masonic-Eastern Star Homes at Pittsburgh or Warminster, we invite you to contact Bro. Fred D. Rissinger, Director of Development, or Bro. John R. McFadden, Planned Giving Officer. They will be happy to assist you through the gift planning process in complete confidence and at no cost or obligation. You can reach them by using the response form below or telephone them at (800) 599-6454 or (717) 367-1121, ext 33311. They would be glad to hear from you.
2. Connection. .. Having a life-income agreement with Masonic Homes involves an interdependence not experienced with normal annual giving. For one thing, the person is not only giving financial support, but receiving it This enhanced sense of partnership encourages the seeking that "we are in this together." Additional annuities deepen this connection even further. 3. Better Rates... Gift annuity rates are determined by the annuitant's age. The older you are, the better the rates you receive. For example, our current rate for a single-life gift annuity involving a 70-year-old person is 7.5 percent The rate increases to 8.2 percent for a 75year-old. At age 80 it is 9.2 percent and at 85 it is 10.5 percent A 90-year-old (and older) will receive 12.0 percent So for many annuitants, it makes sense to obtain additional annuities as they grow older.
