Charitable trusts

These planned giving options offer you a way to set aside and direct how your assets can be used for the benefit of charities and to provide payments to non-charitable parties, such as heirs or back to you. 

Watch how Everence member Abe Landes has included planned giving and trusts into his work to help an organization he's passionate about. 

Distinct options

Separate plans, each with advantages

Lead trusts and remainder trusts are also referred to as “split interest” trusts, because the assets can set be aside and divided on how payments, and the remainder, are distributed.

Charitable lead trust

This arrangement provides current income from your gifted assets to one or more charitable organizations for a period of time – but returns the asset to you or your heirs.

Gives back to you

Charitable remainder trust

A gift of real estate or securities is received into a trust, converted to cash and invested. You receive income from the trust – and after you pass away – the remainder goes to one or more charitable organizations.

When you’re dealing with your finances, you have to really feel comfortable or feel that this person is really working for you. And I just feel that 100 percent with Everence.
