Smart Strategies for Charitable Giving

These trusts allow you to name a beneficiary that receives payments for a designated period. The remainder of the account goes to the charity of your choice.
Retirement accounts
You can name a charitable organization as the beneficiary of a retirement account such as an IRA. A tax-exempt organization can withdraw the remaining funds after your death without paying income taxes on the balance.
