Give It Twice Trust - Help Family and Charity
Are you looking for a way to provide income to your children and make a gift to Oakland Symphony. The "Give It Twice" trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA or other asset at death to fund a charitable remainder trust. We call this kind of trust a Give It Twice trust because you can use the trust to pay income first to your family and then distribute the balance of the trust to charity.

- You complete an IRA or other retirement account beneficiary designation form, naming the charitable remainder trust as the beneficiary, and return the form to your account custodian.
- When you pass away, the custodian will transfer your retirement account to the charitable remainder trust.
- The trust will pay income to your spouse, children or other individual beneficiaries you choose for their life, term of years or life plus term of years.
- At the conclusion of the payments, the balance of the trust will be transferred to Oakland Symphony.
