A charitable remainder trust enables a donor to donate valuable assets to the Cancer Research Society (CRS), while keeping the income generated by these assets throughout the donor's (or the designated beneficiary's) lifetime, or during the period determined at the time the trust deed is signed.

A charitable remainder trust is created from an irrevocable donation to the Cancer Research Society. This donation, which can be made in the form of cash, securities, property or other tangible assets, becomes the capital of the trust, and is created while the donor is alive or by a clause in his/her will.

After the period specified in the trust deed or upon the death of the last beneficiary, the CRS will receive the capital invested in the trust, as well as any unused income.

A charitable remainder trust is an interesting option for wealthy individuals who wish to make a substantial donation to the Cancer Research Society.
