A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY allows you
to make a gift to UNC, while providing
a guaranteed stream of income for life.
At death, the principal passes to Carolina
to be used as you designate. In addition
to guaranteed income, you receive an
immediate income tax deduction for a
portion of the gift.
Below is a sample of the annuity rates
that we currently offer. We are happy
to prepare calculations based on your

GAA Annual Members
Stay connected – automatically
It’s easy. When you renew your GAA membership, pay by credit
card and request to have your membership automatically renew
each year at the prevailing rate.
We’ll do the rest. Instead of annual renewal notices, we’ll send
you a reminder 60 days before your annual membership is charged
to your credit card.
In return. You’ll receive personalized
Carolina mailing labels when you
sign up and each year with
your reminder so you can
display your Tar Heel pride on
all your outgoing mail.
For more information about the
GAA’s automatic renewal plan,
please call us at (800) 962–0742.
