Charitable Trusts

What exactly is a charitable trust? Well, for starters, it's a great way to give because there are rewards for you and Lenoir-Rhyne.

Types of Trust

Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
A CRT makes set payments to one or more income beneficiaries. You can receive an income and a tax deduction and your beneficiary receives incomes as well. A unitrust, like the Ripples established, allowed them to add assets over time and receive a minimum 5% income on those quarterly assets.

Chartiable Lead Trust (CLT)
A CLT provides an annual payment to the organization for a specific term. Once the term ends, assets are either returned to you or become property of your children or heirs.
