Charitable Remainder Trust

A tax‑exempt, irrevocable trust that is funded by a charitable donation and pays income to individual beneficiaries for life or a set number of years, after which the remaining trust assets are transferred to one or more designated charities.

  • You will receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year you fund the trust.
  • If the trust grows in value, the income you receive from the trust will also increase.
  • You can avoid paying capital gains tax when you make a gift of stock or other appreciated assets.
  • The remaining assets in the trust, after all payments are made, will support the charity of your choice.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A contract between a donor and charity where the donor contributes an asset in exchange for a lifetime of fixed payments.

  • You may benefit from a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift.
  • Fixed payments will be made to you at a rate based on your age.
  • A portion of your payments could be tax free.
  • You can avoid capital gains tax when you make a gift of stock or other appreciated assets.
