Benefits of United Way Life© Insurance:
Starting at age 73 the IRS mandates IRA owners to take annual income withdrawals, known as Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). Failure to take these withdrawals could subject IRA owners to stiff penalties.
Rather than being forced to take a distribution that can raise your taxable income, many donors use their RMDs to make a Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD). A QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income and may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare. Also, QCDs don’t require that you itemize on your taxes. There are certain requirements that must be met to use your RMD as a QCD, including:

Benefits for Donors:
A charitable lead trust (CLT) is a gift of cash or other property to an irrevocable trust where United Way of Greater St. Louis receives an income stream from the trust for a term of years.

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is an irrevocable trust that generates a potential income stream for you, as the donor to the CRT, or other beneficiaries, with the remainder of the donated assets going to your favorite charity or charities.
