Charitable Lead Trusts
(Gift Illustration)

How it works

You contribute securities or other appreciated assets to a charitable lead trust.

The trust makes annual payments to Creighton University for a period of time.

When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.

Benefits

• The present value of the income payments to Creighton reduces your gift/estate tax.
• All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
• The amount and term of the payments to Creighton can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Creighton now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
