Frequently Asked Questions
How are the annuity payments for a charitable gift annuity guaranteed?
A gift annuity contract becomes a legal financial obligation of Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness and is backed by all our assets. The Friends is legally required to make timely payments to our annuitants, and that ongoing responsibility is a key element in its financial policies.
