I am interested in a Charitable Gift Annuity. What is the process for considering this option?

Many donors find that a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a good solution if you would like to receive a fixed income for life and make a meaningful contribution in support of programming on SCETV and SC Public Radio. Completing the charitable gift annuity application allows the ETV Endowment of SC to prepare an annuity illustration just for you. The personalized illustration will show the amount of annuity payments you would receive and the tax benefits available to you. The information you provide does not obligate you, in any way, to contribute to a charitable gift annuity.

We want SCETV to live on in the future and to be a bright beacon for all South Carolinians to help them understand and value this great state. We are proud to know that our estate plans help make this possible.
