CHARITABLE BEQUESTS
If you are interested in naming The Trevor Project in your will, you can use the preferred bequest
language for tax-deductible charitable testamentary gifts in this document.
INSURANCE
To qualify for tax benefits of a gift of life insurance, The Trevor Project must be named as the owner and
beneficiary of the policy. No incidents of ownership should be retained by you as the donor. If the policy
is paid out, your charitable gift is generally the replacement value or cost basis of the policy, whichever
is less. Ongoing premiums paid on a gifted life insurance policy also qualify for charitable deductions.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST (CRT)
A CRT allows you to retain an interest in contributed property for a fixed number of years or for life
expectancy, and only have the property pass to charity at the end of the term. You, the donor, receive
an up-front income tax deduction for the present value of the property passing to charity at the end of
the term. More importantly, the CRT can sell appreciated property without incurring an immediate
capital gains tax. This can create tremendous opportunities for income tax deferral. A CRT can be
arranged through a local community foundation or financial planning firm.
CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST (CRT)
In contrast with the CRT, the CLT pays charity an up-front interest, usually for a fixed number of years. At
the end of the period, the property passes to your heirs. Gift and estate taxes are reduced because the
present value of the remainder interest to your heirs is reduced by the charitable income interest.
