Gifts That Pay You Income
You can accelerate promising Ataxia research while earning an income from your gift.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities (CGAs) offer a secure, fixed payment stream for yourself and/or a loved one for your lifetime(s). You will also receive tax benefits and the satisfaction of creating a lasting legacy through the National Ataxia Foundation.
How it works:
- You donate cash or appreciated securities worth $100,000 or more to NAF. In return, you and/or another beneficiary will receive fixed payments for life.
- Your payment rate is based on your age (payments start at age 50 or later) and will never change.
- A portion of your payments will be tax-free.
- The older you are — or the longer you defer starting your payment — the higher your payments will be.
Benefits to you include:

You create your legacy of tomorrow’s life-changing breakthroughs.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a tax-free trust that pays you and/or other beneficiaries an annual distribution. This payment is either a percentage of the annual value of the trust, or a percentage of the original gift amount.
How it works:
- You transfer cash or an appreciated asset* into an irrevocable trust.
- The trustee then sells the asset, paying no capital gains tax, and reinvests the proceeds.
- For the rest of your life (or a term of years), you and/or another beneficiary receive payments from the trust.
- After your lifetime, the remaining principal is used to support the mission of NAF.
Benefits to you include:
