American Bible Society delivered its first annuity payment in 1843. Today, we serve as a trusted leader and pioneer of charitable gift annuities, never missing a payment in more than 170 years of serving our faithful financial partners.

When working with our gift planning team, annuitants feel assured that we adhere to God’s principals of financial stewardship. We manage and administer resources that provide for the financial needs of our annuitants and for the Word of God, all while maintaining sufficient excess reserves to secure our promise of payment to our partners for the remainder of their lifetime. When creating a charitable gift annuity with American Bible Society, our financial partners confidently prepare for the future, earning the stability—and tax savings—of a gift that makes an eternal difference.

Is American Bible Society a Trustworthy Organization?

American Bible Society serves as a 501(c)(3) organization, a formal recognition from the Internal Revenue Service that allows us to receive substantial tax breaks. As a qualifying nonprofit organization, we are held to a firm set of guidelines and restrictions, which are set forth by the state of New York—often considered the strictest state in the country.

With a trusted legacy of more than 199 years, American Bible Society continues to bring the life-changing message of the Bible to millions of men, women and children around the world.
