• Receive income for life, for a term of up to 20 years or life plus a term of up to 20 years.

• Avoid capital gains on the sale of your appreciated assets.

• Receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the charitable portion of the trust.

• Establish a future legacy gift to Holy Angels Church.
