Published by

The BDQ (Big Dumb Question) We’ve all been there: at some point during a presentation someone says, “This may be a dumb question, but…” and the presenter (hopefully in a gracious tone of voice) says, “There’s no such thing as a dumb question,” before providing the obvious answer.

Our aim is to provide easy to understand answers to basic gift planning questions – the kinds of questions you may be reluctant to ask. We’ve got a list of topics in mind (see below). Our very first BDQ is: What Is a Charitable Gift Annuity, and Why Would a Donor Want One? At the most basic level, a charitable gift annuity is simply a promise by a charity to pay a certain amount of money to someone each year for life. A charity makes this promise, in the form of a legal contract, in exchange for a charitable...
