Income Producing Gift Plans

Charitable Remainder UniTrusts

A charitable remainder unitrust provides income to the donor and/or others.  At the end of the trust's term, often at the end of the beneficiaries' lifetimes, what remains in the trust is transferred to Winthrop University.

Lifetime benefits include a substantial charitable income tax deduction, the avoidance of a capital gains tax when the contribution asset is sold to produce income, and, often, an increase in income from the asset.  The benefit to the estate is a reduction in taxes equal to those applicable to the value of the assets ultimately transferred to Winthrop.  View an example of a unitrust gift.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity is a gift that generates for the donor a life income -- a flat dollar amount paid for one or two lifetimes.  It is an agreement between a donor and Winthrop; the income is guaranteed by Winthrop no matter how the gift annuity's assets are invested, if at all.  If a donor creates an annuity for only one life, no estate tax is due at death. If spouses establish a two-life gift annuity, the surviving spouse's income interest qualifies for the marital deduction. View an example of how to set up a charitable gift annuity.

Pooled Income Fund Gift

The pooled income fund option lets you make a gift to Winthrop that is combined with those of other donors and invested in a diverse portfolio. You receive annually your share of the fund's yield in quarterly payments.
