You (or annuitant you designate) receive fixed payments for life, receive a charitable income tax deduction for the charitable gift portion of the annuity and benefit from payments that may be partially tax-free.

Charitable Unitrust
You can also transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable trust. The trust sells your property tax-free and provides you with income for life, for a term of up to 20 years or for life plus a term of up to 20 years. You avoid capital gains on the sale of your appreciated assets and receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the charitable portion of the trust. Learn more about charitable unitrusts.

Retained Life Estate
You may wish to leave your home or real estate to the School at your death but would like to receive a current charitable tax deduction. A life estate reserved might offer the solution in which you receive a federal income tax deduction for the value of the remainder interest in your real estate, preserve your lifetime use and control of your real estate. You can also create a life estate based on more than one life. This will preserve the use of the property for you and a loved one, such as a spouse or dependent.
