Charitable Trusts
A charitable trust allows you to bless a ministry you care about while still providing an income for you or your heirs. With a charitable lead trust, money is paid first to the ministry of your choice for a specified amount of time. Then, at the end of the trust period, the balance goes to a designated beneficiary. A charitable remainder trust reverses that order, paying your heirs first.
Donor Advised Funds
One of the simplest ways to give real estate, stocks, mutual funds or commodities is through a Donor Advised Fund. This is an account you create with a local community foundation of your choice (or we can recommend) for the purpose of setting aside money or assets, receiving immediate tax benefits, and allowing you the flexibility to distribute gifts over time. It’s like having your own charitable giving account.
