Charitable Remainder Trusts

A community foundation like ours can administer charitable remainder unitrusts and annuity trusts, both of which pay lifetime income to you or other named beneficiaries.

Establishing a trust is simple. Cash or property is transferred to the trust. The income beneficiaries receive annually an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the trust's fair market value (unitrust) or a fixed dollar amount (annuity trust). Upon termination of the trust, the assets are transferred to your named charitable fund to support your individual or personal charitable giving goals

Charitable Lead Trusts

The community foundation accepts income distributions from charitable lead trusts. You may use these distributions to creat a new component fund or may contribute them to the unrestricted Coastal Community Endowment or any of our exisitng component funds
