A Couple's Commitment

With the creation of their AFTAU annuity, Lea and Arie knew they were providing an important philanthropic model for their son and grandsons.

LEA: My late husband and I were both NYU professors and both passionate Zionists — so when we began to plan for retirement, we immediately decided to invest in Israeli education. Arie did some research and chose a charitable gift annuity to benefit Tel Aviv University because we admired the school so much.

Their joint-and-survivor CGA will go on providing Lea with secure high-rate income for the rest of her life, and she is gratified that Arie continues to care for her even as their donation continues to care for TAU.

LEA: I feel that I'm getting two kinds of income every quarter. Financial income that arrives like clockwork, and psychological income from the good feeling helping the university gives me.

In a difficult economy, the income from other investments may dwindle, but because her AFTAU annuity rate is fixed and guaranteed, Lea's income remains dependably consistent.

LEA: After I'm gone, among the assets my family will have received is an intangible one — knowing that the value we placed on strengthening higher education and the State of Israel is in their DNA.
