Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts

• Gifts That Pay You Income: Charitable Gift Annuities|  Deferred Charitable Gift Annuities|  Charitable Remainder Unitrusts|  Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts

How it works:

1. You transfer cash, securities or other appreciated property into a trust.
2. The trust makes fixed annual payments to you or to anyone you name.
3. When the trust ends, the principal passes to Baptist Health Care Foundation.

Benefits:

• You receive an immediate income-tax deduction for a portion of your contribution to the trust.
• As long as you are one of the beneficiaries, you pay no immediate capital-gains tax on any appreciated assets you donate. A portion of the capital-gains tax is spread over your life expectancy.
• You or your designated income beneficiaries receive stable, predictable payments for life or a term of years.
• You can make additional gifts to the trust as your circumstances allow and qualify for additional tax deductions.
• You can make a significant gift that benefits you now and the Foundation later.

Consider a charitable remainder unitrust if you:

• Want to make a major gift to the Foundation while retaining or increasing your cash flow from the assets you contribute.
• Have appreciated stocks or bonds and want to avoid the capital-gains cost of a sale.
• Prefer the stability of a fixed income.
• Want a larger charitable deduction for your gift than the unitrust option would provide.
• Have tax-free bonds and want to continue to draw tax-free income from your gift plan.
