Share the Benefits of Gift Annuities through Easter Seals!
If you’re retired or nearing retirement and depend on your investments for income, do you worry about your cash flow? What if you could have guaranteed fixed payments for life and support Easter Seals at the same time? A charitable gift annuity may be just the thing for you. 

The very nature of a gift annuity fixed payments for life, a portion of the payments tax-free, plus an immediate income tax charitable deduction makes it particularly appealing in these volatile times. In addition to increasing your cash flow, an Easter Seals charitable gift annuity helps children and adults with disabilities, or other special needs, and their families.

We can help you decide if a gift annuity is right for you. Call 414-449-4444 x232 for more information.
