Barbara Hill Charcour '63
"When I sold my apartment earlier this year, I realized that I needed a charitable deduction to partially offset the capital gain on the sale. And I was looking for decent income from the investment at a time when stock prices were high and interest rates low. Vassar's gift planning office helped me establish a charitable gift annuity, which satisfied me on both counts. Establishing the gift required only a simple 2-page application form—no additional professional help needed—although I did get the approval of my tax accountant beforehand."
