Charitable Remainder Unitrust
A charitable remainder unitrust offers maximum flexibility with regards to the investment and benefits of your gift plan.
How It Works
- You transfer cash, securities, or other appreciated property into a trust. The required minimum for this type of gift is $100,000.
- The trust pays a percentage of the value of its principal, which is valued annually, to you or beneficiaries you name.
- You may use your real estate to fund a charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT), which may be structured to provide lifetime income for you and/or others, or income for a term of years.
- When the trust terminates, the remainder passes to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation in support of their overall mission.
Benefits
- Receive income for life or a term of years in return for your gift.
- Receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your contribution.
- Pay no up-front capital gains tax on appreciated assets you give.
- You may be able to make additional gifts to the trust as your circumstances allow for additional income and tax benefits.
