Charitable Lead Trusts
Charitable lead trusts differ from charitable remainder trust in that they
provide support, over the life of the trust, to AAAS for support of a specific
program that you have designated, or in support of our overall mission. Upon
the termination of the trust, the property held reverts to the donor or to the
designated beneficiary(ies), usually children or grandchildren.
Utilizing this planned giving tool, the donor receives a charitable deduction
and also can reduce the amount of estate taxes due. While providing valuable
support to AAAS, you also will be providing your heirs with a substantial inheritance.
Donors who establish a charitable lead trust are included in the "1848
Society," our giving club for those who have included AAAS in their wills
or estate plans.
If you would like to learn more about charitable lead trusts, please contact
AAAS's Director of Development Juli Staiano by e-mail or by calling 202-326-6636 or 1-800-215-1969. All information will
be treated with strict confidence.
