Bequests and Estate Planning: Charitable Trusts

Giving Through Charitable Trusts    
       
Charitable TrustsA charitable remainder trust is a way to make a gift to UNC-TV that allows you to retain income from your property for life or for another period of time that you specify. Your funds are held separately and invested for payment of a fixed or variable income to you and/or someone else you name. Such payments may be a welcomed supplement to your retirement plan. Ensuring management of assets is another benefit of the plan. When the trust ends (at the death of the income recipient or at the end of the period of time you specified), whatever remains in the trust is distributed to UNC-TV and other charitable organizations you wish to support. A tax deduction is allowed at the time you create your trust. The size of the deduction depends on the beneficiary age, payment percentage, and other factors.
