Charitable remainder annuity trusts (CRATs) distribute a fixed annuity amount each year, and additional contributions are not allowed. Charitable remainder unitrusts (CRUTs) distribute a fixed percentage based on the balance of the trust assets (revalued annually), and additional contributions can be made.
A charitable remainder trust is a tax-exempt irrevocable trust designed to reduce the taxable income of individuals. A charitable remainder trust dispenses income to one or more noncharitable beneficiaries for a specified period and then donates the remainder to one or more charitable beneficiaries.
A CRT may last for the Lead Beneficiaries' joint lives or for a term of years (the term may not exceed 20 years).
1. Charitable remainder unit trust (CRUT) pays the beneficiary a fixed percentage of the trust at least annually, often for life or a period up to 20 years.
The CRT is a good option if you want an immediate charitable deduction, but also have a need for an income stream to yourself or another person. It is also a good option if you want to establish one by will to provide for heirs, with the remainder going to charities of your choosing.
Any income that you receive from your charitable trust could reduce the total contribution that you end up leaving to your charity. You may risk leaving nothing to your charity if you plan to receive high payments from the trust while you're alive.
CRUT lie in what the trust pays out on a yearly basis and whether additional contributions are permitted once the trust has been created. With a CRAT, the annuity amount paid each year is fixed. Once you establish a CRAT and make the initial contribution, no further contributions are allowed.
