Does the Georgia United Methodist Foundation offer Charitable Remainder Trusts / Charitable Remainder Unitrusts?

Yes. The Foundation offers Charitable Remainder Trusts / Charitable Remainder Unitrusts to help elevate and advance the mission of the churches and nonprofits we serve and to help Methodists across Georgia be good stewards of the financial resources entrusted to them by God. A charitable remainder trust (CRT) or unitrust (CRUT) pays a percentage of the value of the trust each year to an individual. The payments generally must equal at least 5% of the fair market value of the assets, valued annually. At the time of death, the remainder is distributed to a church or nonprofit as directed by the donor through the CRT/CRUT Agreement. Please contact the Foundation at 770-449-6726 or info@gumf.org to learn more.
