Planned giving in the news!  Click the picture to check out an article on funding CRUTs with appreciated art.

Ironically, the article makes it sound as if these are done often (ha, ha!  CRUTs funded with art are even rarer than Lead Trusts!).  Still, it’s a nice piece.

Actually, take a look at this chart from the article – very interesting. Notice that there are hardly any lead trusts but the total assets are high.  And, notice that CRUTs have more assets than donor advised funds!
