Bequests and other planned gifts provide donors the opportunity to play a meaningful role in advancing justice through judicial education at the NJC. Donors who find it difficult to make a substantial gift at this time may consider a planned gift that allows them to give a significant gift through their estate. One planned giving option that is becoming increasingly attractive due to the uncertainly of interest rates is a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). Many people are surprised to learn that establishing a CGA gives them the opportunity to support The National Judicial College and provide income at the same time. A CGA is an excellent, simple way to make a gift that provides lifetime payments for you and/or another. 

Here’s how it works:
You make a gift of cash or cash securities to the NJC for a gift annuity contract. In return, you receive fixed payments for the rest of your life to you or any person you choose. The rate of income received by an annuitant is determined by your age at the time the annuity begins. You may receive an income tax deduction the year it is established and other potential benefits. After your lifetime, the gift, minus the payment you received is used to support programs and/or scholarships at the NJC.
