How a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust Works

When you transfer your stock or cash to fund a charitable remainder annuity trust, you receive a charitable deduction at the time your gift is made. The trust pays you and loved ones fixed income for life or a term up to 20 years. At the end of that time the remainder goes to help further the work of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Benefits of a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust

  • Receive fixed income for life, lives or term of years.
  • Avoid capital gains tax on the sale of your appreciated assets.
  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust for Fixed Income

If you are tired of riding the fluctuating stock market and want a fixed income, a charitable remainder annuity trust may provide you with the stability you desire. A charitable remainder annuity trust pays out a fixed amount each year based on the value of the property at the time it is gifted.

A trust document needs to be prepared by an attorney and the trust must be administered by a trustee.
