Leaving a Charitable Legacy

We care about ensuring that your charitable work carries on into the future. Thoughtful estate planning can bring financial benefits today, while building a structure to honor your vision of a better tomorrow.
 
Our expert staff can help you plan with smart use of flexible resources like:

  • Wills
  • Life insurance
  • Charitable remainder trusts, ideal for donors wishing to create an income stream, particularly using appreciated securities or real estate
  • Charitable lead trusts, designed to maximize the tax benefits of philanthropy
  • Charitable gift annuities, providing payments to the donor while establishing a lasting legacy with a permanent named fund

  
Generations of Chicago residents have placed their legacy in our hands. The Trust is honored to safeguard their philanthropic resources, and yours, for a lasting impact.
 
For assistance in creating your charitable legacy, please contact Jason Baxendale, Director of Gift Planning, at or 312.616.8000 ext. 110.
