Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts

What is a charitable remainder annuity trust?

A charitable remainder annuity trust is a separately invested and managed charitable trust that pays you, your spouse, and/or other beneficiaries a fixed annuity income for life or a term of years. You receive a charitable income tax deduction for a portion of your gift to the trust. No additional gifts are permitted. After the annuity trust terminates, the accumulated principal or "remainder interest" goes to CCCF. Minimum gift is $100,000 and the advantages are considerable.

• Receive stable, predictable income (particularly appealing to older donors and income beneficiaries).
• Depending on how your trust is invested, much of your income could be taxed at the capital gains rate of 15%.
• Avoid ALL capital gains tax on any appreciated assets you donate.
• Reduced estate tax liability if your estate is at the taxable level.
• Enjoy the satisfaction of making a deferred gift to CCCF during your lifetime.
