Keep more of your hard-earned capital gains with a CRUT

Simple, flexible plans for any asset

With a tax efficient Charitable Remainder Trust (CRUT) you can double (or more) what you take home from your asset sale over time. A CRUT is a tax exempt account that protects your sale from capital gains taxes.

DEFER UP TO 100% OF CAPITAL GAINS TAXES

Like an IRA or 401(k), a CRUT allows you to defer your state and federal capital gains taxes when you sell an appreciated asset, like company equity, a small business, or real estate. CRUT overview ->

FLEXIBLE, LONG-TERM PLAN

Choose the trust term that works for you, include the beneficiaries you want, and invest in virtually any assets you want. Flexible CRUT strategy ->

WIN WIN

You're not the only one who wins with a CRUT. After you've cashed out your additional earnings, whatever is left in the trust will go to the charity of your choice.

How to reduce or eliminate your capital gain taxes with a CRUT

The process is simple, and the benefits are huge. We'll be by your side from beginning to end.

Choose a strategy

Use our knowledge library and planning tools to evaluate the available strategies and choose the one that's right for you. And if you need guidance, we're just a Zoom call away.

Execute the documents & transfer assets

Answer a few questions — in 10 or 15 minutes — and we'll draft your fully compliant, lawyer-vetted documents and help you transfer your assets.

Pay no taxes

Here's the fun part: Your trust is 100% tax exempt. So when you sell your appreciated assets inside the trust, you'll owe zero taxes. Yes, you heard that right!

Invest how you want

You can invest out of your trust just as you would have from your personal accounts — in public equities, startups, crypto, real estate, and more.

Take distributions

Once your trust is up and running, you'll be entitled to annual distributions of between 5 and 15% — though you can defer those withdrawals if you want.

Contribute to a worthy cause

At the end of your trust's term (between 20 years and your lifetime, in most cases), whatever is left in the trust after your withdrawals will go to the charity of your choice.

Our approach: We win if you win

Different

No up-front cost

Because we've automated the process of forming a tax-advantaged trust, we can set up your account for free, and we only start charging if you decide to move your assets in.

Contingent

Minimal fixed fees

Once you move assets into your trust, we charge a reasonable, fixed fee to cover the costs of administration, like annual filings, accounting, and asset custody.

Aligned

We make money if you do

Our interests are aligned: You'll also pay us a small portion of the value of your trust assets every year, so our earnings go up only if yours do. We're working for you.
