Overview

Charitable giving through trusts is a strategic approach to philanthropy, allowing individuals to donate to their preferred causes while also achieving estate planning goals. This method enables donors to contribute to charitable organizations, reduce tax liabilities, and ensure a lasting legacy. With the help of a trust, individuals can make a significant impact on their chosen charities, while also providing for their loved ones. According to the [[national-philanthropic-trust|National Philanthropic Trust]], charitable trusts have become an increasingly popular way for individuals to give back to their communities. In 2020, charitable trusts accounted for over $15 billion in donations, with the majority of these trusts being established by individuals with a net worth of over $1 million. As the world's wealthiest individuals, such as [[bill-gates|Bill Gates]] and [[warren-buffett|Warren Buffett]], continue to prioritize philanthropy, the use of charitable trusts is likely to grow in popularity.
