Patti Rouse's ’79 generous gift to the UNC Educational Foundation.
Patti Rouse's ’79 generous gift to the UNC Educational Foundation.
Patti Rouse ’79 chose a deferred charitable gift annuity (CGA) to fund a generous gift to the UNC Educational Foundation. This allowed her to create security for the future – both hers and that of Carolina’s student-athletes. She also benefits from the related charitable income tax deduction today, but defer receiving payments until a future date. Since the annuity rate available to donors is higher the longer period that payments are deferred, Patti will enjoy a higher annuity payout when she is fully retired.
