Charitable Remainder Trusts: Is This Gift Right for You?

Calculate Your Benefits

A charitable remainder trust has special appeal for PETA supporters who would like to make a gift and receive income in return. Review the checklists below to see if you fit the profile for either type of charitable remainder trust.

Annuity Trust

  • You would like more future income.
  • You want a fixed income you can count on.
  • You own low-yield assets that are worth more now than when you purchased them.
  • You want a higher current income without incurring up-front long-term capital gains taxes.


Unitrust

  • You would like more future income.
  • You want payments that hopefully keep up with inflation, and you don't mind if the payments vary from year to year.
  • You own low-yield assets that are worth more now than when you purchased them.
  • You want a higher current income without incurring up-front long-term capital gains taxes.
  • You like the idea that additional assets can be added to the trust during your lifetime.
