Charitable Remainder Trusts and Annuities
Consider the benefits of a charitable remainder trust or a charitable gift annuity. These powerful tools offer immediate income tax deductions, provide you or your designated beneficiaries with a lifetime stream of income, and eliminate capital gains taxes on contributed property. By integrating these options into your estate plan, you can enjoy financial advantages while supporting causes close to your heart.
Custom Solutions
For those looking to tailor their charitable giving, a charitable lead trust creates a steady income stream for charity while allowing the remainder to pass to your heirs without estate or gift tax consequences. A private foundation offers you the flexibility to control how your charitable gifts are used, ensuring they align with your values. Additionally, donor-advised funds provide a strategic way to maximize your income tax savings on regular contributions to your favorite causes.

Charitable planning allows you to support causes you care about while optimizing tax benefits, such as income tax deductions and capital gains tax savings. It also helps you create a meaningful legacy and achieve your philanthropic goals.
Common strategies include charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, private foundations, and donor-advised funds. Each offers different benefits depending on your financial situation and charitable objectives.
A charitable remainder trust provides you with an income stream for a specified period, after which the remaining assets are donated to charity. It offers an immediate tax deduction, and you can avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets.
A charitable gift annuity involves making a donation to a charity in exchange for a guaranteed income stream for life. You receive an immediate income tax deduction and benefit from a reliable income source.
A charitable lead trust provides income to a charity for a set term, with the remainder going to your heirs. It can reduce estate and gift taxes, allowing you to support a charity while passing on wealth to your beneficiaries.
How does a private foundation differ from other charitable planning options?
