Eliminate income tax on retirement plan assets, and free up other property to pass to your heirs. | ||

Receive income for your lifetime, receive a charitable deduction, and diversify your holdings. | ||
Reduce high tax liability now; gain additional income later. |

Reduce gift and estate taxes and leave more of your assets to your heirs. |
Create a charitable lead trust to pay income to CHMF for a fixed time, then pay the remainder to your heirs. |
Reduce gift and estate taxes, and freeze the taxable value of growing assets before they pass to your family. | ||
Tap one of the most valuable assets in your portfolio to make a gift to CHMF. |
Use real estate to make your gift to CHMF. |
