Charitable Trusts

Build your Own Charitable Portfolio and The English-Speaking Union's future with a charitable trust. It is among the most flexible ways to establish a gift for The English-Speaking Union's future, while generating income for your financial security and that of your family.

Depending on the type of trust, you may fund it with cash, appreciated securities, real estate, or even tangible personal property. Establishing a trust, whether during your lifetime or through your estate, will create a stream of income for your and/or your loved ones, save taxes and ultimately provide key support for The English-Speaking Union, its mission, and its programs.

Because there are so many different types of trusts, almost anyone can make a trust gift:

 

A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust "CRAT" may be established to provide you and/or your loved ones with the security of fixed income ($100,000+ gift). A Charitable Remainder Unitrust "CRUT" may be established to provide variable income and growth potential ($100,000+ gift). A Pooled Income Fund "PIF" is a simple trust arrangement for smaller gifts that pays variable income to you ($10,000+ gift). A Charitable Lead Trust "CLT" pays income to charity for a specified time period, then the principal reverts back to you or your heirs ($500,000+ gift).

Can Trusts Be Used to Support a Specific Purpose at The English-Speaking Union?
