Charitable Remainder Trust
The charitable remainder trust enables you to receive income for life and avoid potential capital gains taxes, and provides you with a current charitable income tax deduction. Real estate, cash, marketable securities and closely held stock can all be transferred into the charitable remainder trust in exchange for a lifetime income.
Since the trust is tax-exempt, when the trustee sells the assets there are no tax consequences. After the trust asset has been sold, the proceeds are subsequently invested in a diversified portfolio to provide you with lifetime income and a residual charitable gift to the charitable beneficiaries.
The principal advantages of a Charitable Remainder Trust include: Lifetime income stream, Avoidance of potential capital gains taxes on appreciated assets, Charitable income tax deduction, Tax-free growth of trust assets, Diversification of assets, and a Significant investment in The Providence School.
