Gifts that Benefit Your Heirs

Charitable Lead Trust

A charitable lead trust enables you to make a significant gift to children, grandchildren, or other heirs on a future date that you specify, while also making a gift that benefits Princeton now.

Your charitable lead trust would make annual payments to New Mexico Tech for a fixed term, generally between 10 and 20 years, before the trust principal passes to your heirs.

What are the benefits of a charitable lead trust?

• You control the timing of distribution of your assets to your heirs.
• Federal gift and estate tax deductions for the value of annual trust payments to New Mexico Tech may reduce your taxable gift to zero.
• You receive an immediate federal charitable income tax deduction in some circumstances.

You can establish a charitable lead trust during your lifetime or through your will. You may use payments from a charitable lead trust to fund many current  campaign priorities as well as all enduring needs of the University.
