Gifts of Interest Income––A Charitable Lead Trust can be described as "a gift you get back." It allows a donor to give the income from assets placed in a trust to the Foundation for a term of years, while retaining the principal for the donor, heirs or a third party on the termination of the trust.

More and more donors are choosing to designate undistributed assets in qualified retirement plans to a charity, while leaving assets subject only to the estate tax to heirs.
