What is a Legacy Partner?
When supporters name MSF as a beneficiary in their will, trust, annuity, or financial account(s), they automatically become Legacy Partners. Their legacy gift commitment helps ensure that lifesaving medical care will continue reaching people in crisis for generations to come. Legacy Partners receive invitations to special events and briefings, our semi-annual Alert newsletter, and our Chief Executive Officer’s Insider Letter.
In their own words
Meet some of our Legacy Partners and learn why they decided to leave MSF in their will.
Meet Brian Hegarty
"When we started planning for retirement, we wanted our decisions to reflect the causes we care about most. A charitable gift annuity offered us reliable income and tax benefits while allowing us to support MSF’s lifesaving humanitarian work. It felt like a natural way to combine thoughtful planning with creating a lasting legacy."

Gifts for your heirs and MSF
A charitable lead trust lets you support MSF now while preserving assets for your family later. You transfer cash, securities, or other assets into a trust. The trustee invests the assets, then pays MSF annually for a period you choose. When the trust ends, the remaining assets revert to you or your heirs—often with meaningful tax savings.
Make a lasting impact while receiving income for life
A life income gift to MSF can provide you or your loved ones with reliable income and potential tax benefits while helping deliver lifesaving medical care to people in crisis around the world. It’s a way to support the future of humanitarian care while meeting your financial goals.
