Ways of Giving
Lead Trust
With a charitable lead trust, NSDAR receives its gift in the form of immediate payments from the trust, for a period of time, in an amount you determine. At the end of that time period, the assets used to fund the trust are returned to you or other loves ones you designate.
Because you devote income to charitable purposes for a period of time, gift and estate taxes that could otherwise be due on gifts to your heirs can be reduced or eliminated.
You may thus be able to make a meaningful gift to NSDAR while you provide your heirs with a larger inheritance than would otherwise be possible.
We will be happy to work with you or your advisor to explain how a charitable lead trust might meet your particular needs. Please contact the Office of Development at 1 (800) 449-1776 or by email at development@dar.org.
