A Camp Pinnacle gift annuity is a great way to make an eternal impact on the lives of others. By setting aside a permanent contribution of $50,000 or more in cash, stock, or mutual funds, the donor receives a fixed income and tax savings. In the future, the gift will be used to help reach more lives with the power of the gospel.
