Gift Annuity Survey Results

Cornerstone Management is a Registered Investment Advisory firm located in Atlanta, Georgia. For more than 25 years we have provided a turnkey solution for the investment management and administration of planned gifts. We recently conducted an informal survey among our network of clients to see if charitable gift annuity donors also contribute to the issuing charity in other ways. The question we wanted to help organizations answer is, “If we offer our donors gift annuities, will that lead to other gifts to our organization?” Among the clients surveyed, the answer to this question appears to be “YES.” Thank you to all of those that participated in the survey, and we are glad to share the results with you now.
