5. Consider a Gift Annuity for RFB&D
   
   If you have a certificate of deposit (CD) that is reaching maturity and you are thinking of renewing it, you are most likely looking at rates of return between 1.7% for a one-year CD and 3.6% for a five-year one. An attractive alternative to consider is a charitable gift annuity to The Regional Unit of the Virginias and Carolinas Unit, which will significantly increase your income and provide you with a tax deduction. Here are some examples of current gift annuity rates:
   
   

   Age 60 - 6.4%	Age 75 - 7.9%
   Age 65 - 6.7%	Age 80 - 8.9%
   Age 70 - 7.2%

   
   The charitable gift annuity document is just one page and easy to complete. This could be a very nice gift both for you and the unit. For more information, please contact Christine Eure, Executive Director, at (434) 293-4797, ext. 25, or through e-mail at ceure@rfbdvanc.org.
