Charitable Education Term Annuity

If one of your goals is to establish a college fund for a child that will assist with offsetting the rising cost of higher education, you might consider establishing a Charitable Education Term Annuity. This planned gift option provides a student when he/she reaches college age with a fixed number of payments, usually over a four year period. Once the student has used the income to pay for tuition and/or associated college expenses, the remaining principal will benefit Shippensburg University through the SU Foundation, as determined by you, the donor.

How It Works


A charitable education term annuity is a contract between you and the Shippensburg University Foundation.
  1. You make a gift through the transfer of property (cash, securities, or other appreciated assets) to the SU Foundation.
  2. You will receive a charitable deduction for your gift.
  3. Beginning on a specified date in the future (when you expect the child to begin college), the SU Foundation begins to pay the child a fixed number of payments during the four year period.
  4. The principal passes to the SU Foundation to further its mission when the contract ends.
