Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts

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 The Latin School.

  • Receive stable, predictable income (particularly appealing to older donors and income beneficiaries).
  • Avoid all upfront capital gains tax on any appreciated assets you transfer to the annuity trust.
  • Receive all or partly tax-free income if your annuity trust is invested for that objective.
  • Reduce your estate tax liability by removing a large taxable asset.
  • Make a satisfying and substantial gift to The Latin School during your lifetime.
