Charitable Remainder Trusts
​
Charitable remainder trusts are irrevocable trusts that can increase your income, save you taxes, and benefit charities such as Jen's Friends. You and other named individuals receive payments from the trust each year for life or a period not exceeding 20 years. At the end of the trust term, the remainder of the trust is then donated to Jen's Friends.

You can donate these types of securities to Jen’s Friends:
-
Publicly-traded stocks
-
Privately-held stocks
-
Shares of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (EFTs)

No matter which type of appreciated security you donate, your gift goes further than if you sold it and donated the proceeds as cash.
Donating appreciated stocks lets you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value and allows you to also claim a tax deduction on the value of the shares that you donated.
