American Council on Gift Annuities
The American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA or Council) is a voluntary association of charities. It exists for three primary purposes. These are: (1) to provide education and training in charitable gift annuities; (2) to recommend standard annuity rates for current and deferred gift annuities; and (3) to update charities on the state regulation of gift annuities.

The Council conducts an international conference on gift annuities every two years. The Rate Committee meets periodically to review gift annuity rates. The change in gift annuity rates is subject to variations in investments and interest rates and may be changed from time to time.

Charities that issue gift annuities are encouraged to become sponsors of the American Council on Gift Annuities and to subscribe to the Council's rates. The payment of annual dues entitles the charity to receive the current gift annuity rates, to attend the periodic conference at a sponsor rate and to receive regulatory and tax information on a periodic basis with respect to charitable gift annuities.

ACGA Recommended Annuity Rates

Interest Rate Assumptions


In November 2023, the ACGA announced new rates effective January 1, 2024.

Since 1939, the ACGA has assumed that charities using the ACGA rates will receive a final remainder value of at least 50% of the original contribution amount. Historically, charities have received higher levels of residuum. The explanation of the ACGA rates effective July 1, 2011 added an additional requirement that the present value of the residuum be at least 20% of the gift amount.

Annuity Reserve Investment Assumptions


ACGA bases its rates on a mixed portfolio that consists of 40% equities, 55% fixed investments and 5% cash. The return rate on the 40% equities is the 80 year total return based primarily on the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, reduced by 2%. For the 55% bond portfolio, the return is based upon the yield for the past three months of a 10-year Treasury bond. The 5% cash amount reflects the current yield on the three-month Treasury.

Current or Immediate Gift Annuity Rates
Using these assumptions, the total return on gift annuity reserves is 5.75%. Because there is a 1% assumed expense allocation, the net rate for setting ACGA rates is 4.75% after January 1, 2024. The rates also reflect an actuarial decision to use a 45%-55% blend of the 2012 IAR male and female mortality table with no age setback

The other adjustments are slightly lower rates for young annuitants to qualify for the required minimum 10% deduction with low applicable federal rates, and a cap on rates for very senior persons. A 10.1% cap applies to annuitants age 90 and older. The rate schedule contains slightly lower rates for single-life annuities.

Deferred Annuities
New rates for deferred payment gift annuities also commence on January 1, 2024. A deferred annuity must include a one year or greater period of deferral between the funding date and the annuity starting date. The annuity starting date is defined by the IRS as one period prior to the first payment date. For example, with a quarterly payment gift annuity, the annuity starting date would be one quarter prior to the first payment.

The methodology for calculating deferred payment gift annuities uses the period of deferral to calculate the deferral factor. Based on the deferral period in actual numbers of years (calculated to four decimal points), there will be a 4.75% increase each year in the deferred annuity factor. This factor will then be multiplied times the payout rate for the person on the annuity starting date. Since the regulations to Sec. 72 of the Internal Revenue Code require the use of the annuity starting date for all other purposes, it is desirable for the deferred payment rates to be calculated in a manner consistent with these IRS regulations.

3.3.2  Current (Immediate) Gift Annuities:    A current, or immediate, gift annuity is a contract between the charity and the donor. The donor transfers property to the charity and the charity promises to pay the annuity for one life or two lives. Sec. 514(c)(5).

3.3.3  Deferred Annuities:    A deferred annuity is similar in many respects to a current annuity. The deferred annuity is a contractual agreement between the donor and the charity. It is secured by all of the assets of the charity. The parties with interests in the agreement to the contract are the donor, the charity, the annuitant or annuitants and the insurance commissioner of the appropriate state.
