Pooled Income Fund
|
|
|
|
How it works
- You transfer cash or securities to the Pooled Income Fund trust established by the Red Cross.
- The trust issues you units, like a mutual fund, and pays you, or up to two income beneficiaries you name, the annual income attributable to your units for life.
- The principal attributed to your units passes to the Red Cross when the last income beneficiary dies.
|
Benefits
- You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift to the trust.
- You pay no capital gains tax on any appreciated assets you donate.
- Although modest, the income usually exceeds the level of stick dividends.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a gift that benefits you now and the Red Cross later.
