Charitable Lead Trust

How It Works

• You contribute securities or other appreciating assets to a Charitable Lead Trust. Our suggested minimum gift requirement is $1,000,000.
• The trust makes annual payments to the Natural Resources Defense Council for a period of time.
• When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.

Benefits

• Income payments to us for a term reduce the ultimate tax cost of transferring an asset to your heirs. 
• The amount and term of the payments to NRDC can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
• All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to the individuals named in your trust.
