Remainder Annuity Trusts

Gift Overview

A charitable remainder annuity trust can provide financial benefits and support conservation.

How it works
  1. You transfer cash, securities or other appreciated property into a trust.
  2. The trust makes fixed annual payments to you or to beneficiaries you name.
  3. When the trust terminates, the remainder passes to The Nature Conservancy.
