• 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.
