Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust provides substantial income to you during your life, during the
life of a named beneficiary, or both. Basically, you place an asset that produces income into
trust and then you receive a life income based on the market value of the assets given.
Because remainder trusts receive special consideration under the IRS code, you can realize
considerable tax advantages by using this type of life income tool. After the death(s) of the
beneficiary(ies), the trust assets are transferred to the Portneuf Health Care Foundation and
are allocated for the purpose you designate.
The two type of trusts are:
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust: With this type, you receive a fixed amount of
annual income based on the value of the initial contribution, which is made in one lump sum.
The tax reduction may be larger than for a charitable remainder unitrust established for the
same amount.
Charitable Remainder Unitrust: This type of trust provides a variable income that
may grow as principal grows. The payout is equal to a percentage of the trust's market value,
which is calculated annually. In addition, you may make multiple contributions to a unitrust.
Our staff can assist you in determining the most beneficial method of supporting the Medical
Center, personalized to your needs and wishes. For more information on these or other gift
