A charitable remainder unitrust is for you if ...

• You want to make a major gift to The Nature Conservancy while retaining or increasing your income from the assets you contribute. Unitrusts are generally funded with at least $50,000 in cash or stock or $100,000 in real estate.
• You hold appreciated assets — securities, real estate, or a business — and want to avoid the capital gains cost of a sale.
• You want the payments from your gift to be able to grow over time rather than be fixed. In order to provide a hedge against inflation.
• You desire flexibility in the operation of your gift.
