IN RETIREMENT
Edith’s infectious enthusiasm for life is just part of her
personality. She also has a sharp business mind. She
ran two successful spas which included beauty schools.
So when Edith received a charitable gift annuity
postcard from Straub Foundation in 2011, her financial
instincts kicked in. She thought it was a great use for
her money.
“Growing up in a large family, we were always taught
to share,” Edith said. “By taking out this annuity, I have the opportunity to share
with others in a very basic way. I give money and get some back for the rest
of my life. I’ve never regretted my decision and I tell all my friends to look into
them and give to their favorite charity.”
How you can sleep tight knowing your money will never run out?
If you are worried about cash flow once you retire, a charitable gift annuity might
provide a welcome and reassuring rainy day fund. Charitable gift annuities are a
very flexible way to make charitable donations that provide you or your spouse
with income for life. They are easy to create and can be funded with gifts of
$10,000 or more. 100 percent of your gift stays right here, supporting exceptional
medical care for the people of Hawai‘i.
