Charitable Remainder Trusts
How It Works
In exchange for cash, securities, real estate, or tangible assets you and/or your beneficiaries will receive an income stream for life or a fixed term of years. At the passing of the named beneficiaries, BC will receive the remainder of the gift.
With a minimum of $100,000, you can establish two types of remainder trusts at BC:
- Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT): pays a variable stream of income, which is equal to a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust during that year
- Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT): pays a fixed stream of income, which is equal to a fixed percentage of the funding value of the trust.
Alternatively, you can fund a Charitable Remainder Trust through your estate to provide income to your named beneficiaries after your passing. In addition to providing income to your heirs, a testamentary CRUT can reduce your estate taxes.
