Estate and gift planning through the Boston Foundation is an excellent way to establish your charitable legacy. We offer many avenues to incorporate charitable giving into your estate planning, and we can help you decide which type of gift is right for you.
You may be looking for a way to provide your children with income while making a gift to the Boston Foundation. The "give it twice" trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA or other asset at death to fund a term of years charitable remainder unitrust. We call this kind of unitrust a give it twice trust because you can use the trust to pay income first to your family for a number of years and then distribute the balance of the trust to charity.
