Did you know that younger donors can take advantage of a gift annuity to make a gift now, yet secure income for family needs they'll be facing soon? Tailored for donors anticipating college tuitions or the care of aging parents, the Term of Years gift annuity has no minimum age limit to begin receiving payments.

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
Did you know that this powerful life-income gift is our most creative planning tool for donors? The unitrust pays you a fixed percentage of principal and reinvests excess income. You have flexibility in determining who will manage the unitrust, the length of the income payout and the number of income beneficiaries, and which assets will be placed into the trust.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts
Did you know that you can combine flexible management of your gift with a predictable fixed-income payout? The annuity trust is individually managed and can pay fixed income for life or a term of years to multiple beneficiaries.

Charitable Lead Trusts

The lead trust holds appreciating assets for a term and pays income to Samaritan's Purse, then passes the principal to your family. This gift plan freezes the taxable value of appreciating assets but passes on to your family the full market value after the period of income to Samaritan's Purse.
