A trust established for the benefit of a charitable organization under which the grantor can designate an income beneficiary to receive payment of a specified amount, at least annually, from the trust. The grantor may also be the income beneficiary. On the death of the grantor, the remainder of the interest in the trust passes to the charitable organization. Using a trust involves a complex set of tax rules and regulations. Before moving forward with a trust, consider working with a professional who is familiar with the laws and regulations.
