Charitable Remainder Unitrust
If you are interested in a planned gift to Marywood while also leaving an income stream for you or your loved ones, consider a Charitable Reminder Unitrust. A Charitable Reminder Unitrust provides you or other named individuals income each year for life or a period of years. At the end of the trust term, the balance in the trust goes to Marywood to support the area(s) you designate.
