Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
(Gift example*)

You are holding appreciated stock valued at $100,000 from which you receive a $1,000 dividend annually. You would like to reinvest for more income; however, you will owe a capital gains tax on $90,000 of profit if you do. Instead, you contribute the $100,000 to a charitable annuity trust paying you and your spouse (ages 70 and 68) $5,000 annually.
