Charitable Lead Trusts

The charitable lead trust generates income to be used for self-help solutions to those who are hungry today, and reduces your tax costs for transferring assets to your heirs. The lead Trust holds gift assets for your lifetime or for a term of years, and pays annual income to Freedom from Hunger. Your heirs enjoy several tax advantages:

  • The gift assets placed in the lead Trust are frozen in value for transfer-tax purposes as of the date the trust is formed. When the Trust terminates and the assets pass to your family, all intervening appreciation will escape gift and estate tax.
  • The income stream payable to Freedom from Hunger further reduces the taxable value of the Trust assets when they pass to your heirs. This feature makes the lead Trust especially useful if you are holding assets likely to appreciate significantly before they are transferred to the next generation.
