Charitable Lead Trust

How It Works

	You contribute cash, securities or other property to a trust.
	The trust makes fixed annual payments to Fox Chase Cancer Center for a specified term of years.
	When the trust ends, the remaining principal goes to your heirs.

Benefits

You qualify for a gift tax deduction for the present value of the annual payments to Fox Chase .
You can adjust the amount of the charitable payments and the term of the trust to reduce or even eliminate the transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
You can use your available estate tax credit ($2.0 million per person beginning in 2006) to further reduce taxes on transfers to your heirs.
You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Fox Chase now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
