How it works

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) allows you to receive income for a set number of years, or for life. The remaining assets go to your loved ones and causes you support, such as MLKCH. A CRT is a way to support our work while also taking care of your future. You’ll need to work with your attorney to create a CRT that fits your lifestyle and financial goals.
