Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
(A Bucket of Flexible Income)

How it works

	You transfer cash, securities or real property into a trust.
	The trust pays a fixed percentage of the market value of the assets to you or to beneficiaries you name. Since the principal is re-valued annually, the amount of your income will change each year.
	When the trust ends the principal passes to the National Audubon Society to fund its conservation programs.

Benefits

• You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your contribution to the trust.
• You pay no capital gains tax if you donate appreciated assets.
• You or your designated beneficiaries receive income for life or a term of years.
• You can make additional gifts to the trust as your circumstances allow and qualify for additional tax deductions.
• You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and Audubon later.
