Charitable Lead Trust
Through a charitable lead trust, you can support the Southern Environmental Law Center generously for your lifetime or a specified number of years—and then reclaim the trust assets yourself or pass them along to your heirs. Here’s how it works:
- You place cash, stock, or other assets into a trust, which is invested to generate revenue.
- A set amount or percentage of the investment returns are paid to SELC, which uses your gift to support important southern conservation projects.
- When the trust ends, the remaining funds are passed back to you or on to your beneficiaries.
Establishing a charitable lead trust can have tax benefits, particularly regarding estate tax reductions for your heirs.
