The Board of Directors of the ACGA met on May 17, 2022 and voted to increase the rate of return assumption we use when suggesting maximum payout rates for charitable gift annuities. The return assumption will be moving to 4.5% from 3.75% effective July 1st of 2022. As such, the suggested maximum payout rates for single life annuity contracts will be moving higher by 0.4% to 0.6% depending on the age of the beneficiary. The suggested maximum allowable joint-life annuity contracts will also be heading higher by a similar amount. ACGA members can access the suggested maximum rates effective July 1, 2022, here. The general public will have access to this information on June 2nd. Please consider joining the ACGA for early access to the new suggested maximum payout rates.
