"Charitable gift annuities have proven to be a wonderful way for me to increase my retirement income. The payments are stable and guaranteed, and using appreciated securities for the purchase has allowed me to avoid capital-gain tax. Over the years, I have greatly enjoyed many concerts at the Eastman School of Music's Kilbourn Hall. For this reason, and because education is so important to me and in my life, I've designated my gift annuities to help provide scholarship aid to talented young Eastman music students."
