Catholic Charities of New York is pleased to introduce a newly updated resource designed to support thoughtful and impactful legacy planning. In response to growing interest in our Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) Program, we have launched an enhanced Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. This new resource provides comprehensive answers to common questions about CGAs—what they are, how they work, and the benefits they offer to both donors and the communities we serve. 

Please Visit the CGA FAQ Page: 
https://catholiccharitiesny.org/cga-faq 

Whether you are exploring the concept of a Charitable Gift Annuity for the first time or revisiting your long-term giving strategy, this FAQ page offers clear, accessible information on topics such as: 

• What is a Charitable Gift Annuity? 
• How does a CGA provide fixed lifetime income? 
• What are the associated tax benefits? 
• Who is eligible to participate? 
• And more. 

At Catholic Charities of New York, our work is grounded in compassion, stewardship, and the belief in a better future. Legacy gifts like charitable gift annuities empower you to contribute to that future—today and for generations to come. 

For a personalized illustration of how a CGA could work for you, including estimated income tax deductions and projected income based on your gift size and age(s) of the beneficiary(ies), we invite you to contact:
