Non-profits are the easiest of all to develop a content marketing strategy for.
Why? They can tell the best stories. All they have to do is go to their customers and do a short video or tell a story in words or pictures about how that person’s life was affected, as well as a short bit about how the not-for-profit played a role.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES: A WIN-WIN Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are a win-win. They offer tax deductions and lifetime income (some of it tax-free) for you, along with the ability to add to your fund as part of your estate planning. For instance, an 82-year-old donor who put $10,000 into a CGA in January 2012 will save $5,243.72 in taxes this year, both for the deductible charitable portion of the gift and through $651.32 in tax-free income. If that donor lives 10 years and the annuity has a 4% average return, he will have saved more than his initial investment in taxes and tax-free income: $10,056.46. He also will be able to contribute $4,502 to charitable purposes upon his death. See our CGA illustration for additional details on this example. Actual benefits vary depending on the age of the donor and the timing of the gift. The current rate of return for a 70-year-old single beneficiary is 5.1%. TPF CGAs by the numbers provides additional data, such as the $110,209.27 value of the quarterly CGA income checks we sent out last year. It allows you to check out some of the organizations that will benefit from CGAs we manage. Read more about how CGAs work on our web site.
