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 Dominguez Hills.

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 Dominguez Hills during your lifetime.
