Charitable Gift Annuity
A gift annuity is a contract under which ‘Iolani School, in return for a transfer of cash or other property, agrees to pay a fixed sum of money for a period measured by one or two lives. Gifts are not subject to immediate capital gains and provide donors with the security of fixed income fully guaranteed by ‘Iolani School. ‘Iolani offers both immediate and deferred annuities to meet the individual needs of its donors.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust provides current income for the school after which the principal passes to the trust beneficiary. It provides income to the school each year, usually for a fixed period of time. Thereafter, the principal passes to another generation, typically the donor's children or grandchildren at a significantly reduced gift or estate tax cost.
