Give It Twice Trust - Help Family and Charity
You may be looking for a way to provide your children with income while making a gift to Cleveland State University. The "give it twice" trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA or other asset at death to fund a term of years charitable remainder unitrust. We call this kind of unitrust a give it twice trust because you can use the trust to pay income first to your family for a number of years and then distribute the balance of the trust to charity.
