We can also accept charitable remainder trusts which help you with a larger upfront deduction and can provide payments to you based on the sales of the donated asset.

* A central idea of a charitable remainder trust is to reduce taxes. This is done by first donating assets into the trust and then having it pay the beneficiary for a stated period of time. Once this time-frame expires, the remainder of the estate is transferred to the charities deemed as beneficiaries.

Charitable remainder trusts are irrevocable. This means that they cannot be modified or terminated without the beneficiary's permission. The grantor or trustor, having transferred assets into the trust, effectively removes all of her rights of ownership to the assets and the trust upon creation of its irrevocable status. In contrast, a revocable, allows the grantor modifications.

This charitable giving strategy also enables people to pursue philanthropic goals while still generating income. In addition to tax management charitable remainder trusts can offer benefits for retirement and estate planning. (Investopedia.com ) (Kagan)
