Give through a Trust

A trust is a great way to ensure lifetime income for you, and to make charitable donations at the same time. A trust is a written agreement between you and the trustees of your choice. The trustee agrees to hold and manage the assets you decide to place in the trust, which can be cash, securities, or other property. The trustee collects income from those assets, records the information and distributes income to you. Some of the personal benefits to you when you set up a trust are:

• You will receive income from the trust assets.
• You can relax and turn the burden of investment management over to a professional trustee and money manager. When making a gift to CSS through your will, please consult your legal and tax advisors.
• If you become incapacitated, income can be paid for your benefit.
• You can make an impact on one or more of your favorite charities by naming them beneficiaries.
• Your trust assets can avoid probate ensuring privacy and reducing probate costs and delays.

There are many types of trusts. Please consult your legal and tax advisors when considering a charitable remainder trust.
