"'Tis the Season to be Giving"
Last year, individuals contributed $161 billion to charity - that's roughly 76 percent of all contributions made (USA Today, June 20, 2002).
As the holiday season approaches, you may be wondering how a charitable donation from you could best be used
to benefit others - and yourself. Charitable trusts can help you increase the value of your donation by reducing
your costs in capital gains, income, and estate taxes.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is an irrevocable trust whose beneficiary is a charitable organization.
Throughout his or her lifetime, the donor receives regular payments (fixed or variable) from the trust. When the
donor dies, the charity receives the remaining principal.
Charitable Lead Trusts
A charitable lead trust (CLT) is almost the opposite of a CRT. With a CLT, the charity receives regular income
generated by the trust throughout the donor's lifetime. When the donor dies, his or her heirs receive the assets in
the trust.
Pooled Income Funds
A pooled income fund is an irrevocable trust to which several donors may contribute. Funds are administered by
a charitable organization and pay donors regular income for life. When a donor dies, his or her contribution to
the fund becomes the property of the charity. With this type of fund, donors are not subject to capital gains taxes
and can reduce their current taxable income and estate.
This time of year gives many people an inclination to help others and potentially improve their tax situations. If
the season has kindled your desire to give, consider how charitable trusts can help both you and the recipient
make the most of your donation. Charitable donations can take many forms, including cash, securities, life
insurance, or even your free time. For further information, please email
