Charitable Lead Trust

A Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) allows you to support the ministries and organizations you care about today while also providing for your family in the future.

You place assets into a trust, and for a period of time, the trust makes regular payments to the charitable organizations you select. At the end of that period, the remaining assets generally pass to your children, grandchildren, or other loved ones.

A charitable lead trust may be especially helpful for individuals and families who want to combine meaningful charitable giving with thoughtful estate and family wealth planning.

There are several types of charitable lead trusts, and the approach that is right for you will depend on your individual circumstances, goals, and financial plans. The Hawaii Baptist Foundation would be pleased to work with you and your professional advisers to explore your options and help identify a charitable solution that is right for you.
