Charitable Lead Trust (for Family)
If you are looking for a way to pass on some of your assets to your family while reducing or eliminating gift or estate taxes, a charitable lead trust is an excellent option.
Benefits of a charitable lead trust
- Receive a gift or estate tax charitable deduction
- Pass inheritance on to family at a reduced or zero cost
- Establish a vehicle from which you can make annual gifts to charity
How a charitable lead trust works
- You make a contribution of your property to fund a trust that pays Omicron Delta Kappa income for a number of years.
- A lead trust can create an income, gift, or estate tax deduction based on its drafting.
- After a period of time, your family receives the trust assets plus any additional growth in value.
- Please be sure to use the Society's legal name in your paperwork: Omicron Delta Kappa Society and Educational Foundation, Inc.
