If you are interested in maximum flexibility and effectiveness from your gift, consider a charitable remainder trust (CRT) for Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart.

  • A unitrust pays you and/or other beneficiaries a fixed percentage of the principal. The unitrust is revalued annually, and monies earned in excess of the percentage payout are reinvested.
  • An annuity trust pays you and your beneficiaries a fixed sum.

A CRT may provide payouts to multiple beneficiaries, for life or for a term or years. A unitrust may be structured to invest solely for growth for a term of years. this is an attractive way to help provide for future retirement or tuition needs while also making a substantial gift to Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. An annuity trust may hold tax-free securities and pass payments tax-free through to the beneficiaries.

You or another individual or a corporate trustee may serve as the trustee of a CRT.
