A Gift With An Income That Never Changes A charitable remainder trust is a means of making a gift while allowing you to retain income from your property for life. Your funds are held separately and invested to earn a fixed, regular income for you. You gain a charitable deduction for a portion of the amount contributed at the time you create your trust. At your death (or at the death of your surviving spouse or loved one, if you designate), whatever remains in the trust is distributed to the Armed Forces Veterans Homes Foundation, and your estate receives a charitable deduction, thereby reducing any estate tax liability.
