Charitable Gift Annuities
Did you know that our simplest form of a life-income gift also delivers the highest annual payments and significant tax benefits for you? In return for your gift, USP pays you income, you receive an income tax deduction, avoid upfront capital gains tax on your gift transfer, and pay no income tax on part of the payments you receive from USP.

Deferred Charitable Gift Annuities
Did you know that there is a life-income gift designed to build younger donors’ retirement earnings? Deferring the start of your income stream until retirement or later gives you a large income tax deduction now and an additional source of income when you need it later.

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
Did you know that this powerful life-income gift is our most creative planning tool for donors? The unitrust pays you a fixed percentage of principal and reinvests excess income. You have flexibility in determining who will manage the unitrust, the length of the income payout and the number of income beneficiaries, and which assets will be placed into the trust.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts
Did you know that you can combine flexible management of your gift with a predictable fixed-income payout? The Annuity Trust is individually managed, and can pay fixed income for life or a term of years to multiple beneficiaries.

Charitable Lead Trusts
Did you know that one gift plan reduces the cost of transferring assets to your family – while delivering immediate benefits to USP? The Lead Trust holds appreciating assets for a term and pays income to USP, then passes the principal to your family. This gift plan freezes the taxable value of appreciating assets but passes on to your family the full market value after the period of income to USP.
