Establish a CGA or learn more
If you are ready to set up a CGA or would like to obtain more information, please complete and submit the form below. By request, MSF can send you a personalized illustration of how a CGA can pay you income for life.
Or, call (212) 763-5795 or email legacygiving@newyork.msf.org to connect directly with one of our gift officers.
This program is administered in accordance with our charitable gift annuity policy.
A CGA is a lifelong contract that benefits Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), gives you and/or a loved one a generous income, and has significant tax advantages. Payment rates will vary depending on the number of annuitants, the age of the annuitants, the gift date, and the date when payments begin.
Minimum Amount: $10,000
Minimum Age: 65
If you are under the age of 65, you have the option of a deferred gift annuity. This allows you to make a gift now with payments to begin at a future date-at least one year after the gift is made. Because the payments are deferred, the annuity rate is typically higher, reflecting the longer investment period. The minimum age at which payments may start is 65 and the maximum deferral period is 15 years.
Assets Accepted: Cash, appreciated marketable securities, or, under limited circumstances, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from a donor’s IRA (the donor must be at least 70½ years old).
Payment Schedule: Annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly
NOTE: MSF is not able to issue charitable gift annuities to residents of Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii or North Dakota.
