A charitable remainder annuity trust, or CRAT, can provide a fixed income stream to you or a loved one for a specified period, with the remaining assets ultimately going to a tax-qualified charity.
If you’re interested in learning more, this article does a good job exploring the pros, cons and key considerations of CRATs.

Charitable trusts: pros, cons, and which type is right for youNot all charitable trusts work the same way. A charitable remainder trust provides income to you or another beneficiary first, with remaining assets eventually going to charity. A charitable lead trust essentially reverses the order, providing support to charity first, with remaining assets going to noncharitable beneficiaries.
If you’ve ever wondered how charitable trusts work or how the different types compare, this may be a useful place to start. ⬇️
