Discover How a Charitable Gift Annuity Can Benefit You and Our Community

In honor of International Ask a Question Day on March 14, Catholic Charities of New York invites you to take a meaningful step toward lasting impact by asking the right questions about Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs).

Whether you’re exploring new ways to give back or looking for financial security in retirement, a CGA can help you do both. We’re here to answer your questions and help you understand how this special form of planned giving can support you and the mission of Catholic Charities of New York.

What Is a Charitable Gift Annuity?

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple and powerful way to support Catholic Charities of New York while also taking care of your own financial future or that of a loved one.

When you establish a CGA:

• You make a gift to Catholic Charities of New York.
• In return, you (or someone you designate) receive fixed payments for life.
• After your lifetime, the remaining funds support our life-changing programs for vulnerable New Yorkers.

Why Consider a CGA?

A CGA is more than a gift, it’s a smart strategy that combines generosity with financial stability. Some key benefits include:

• Reliable income for life
• Significant tax advantages
• The joy of knowing you’re helping Catholic Charities of New York continue to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, support immigrants, and offer hope to families in crisis, across New York.
