The Master’s Trust

The Master’s Trust is a philanthropic trust that allows targeted charitable giving while protecting the identities of the donors. Trusts enable you to control who manages and allocates your assets—to whom, when, and how. How much disclosure do you prefer—total anonymity or partial disclosure?

A trust is an agreement under which money or other assets are held and managed by an entity or individual for the benefit of another. Different types of trusts may be created to accomplish specific goals. Each kind may vary in the degree of flexibility, value, and the control it offers.

The common benefits that trust arrangements offer include:

• Providing personal and financial safeguards for family and other beneficiaries
• Postponing or avoiding unnecessary taxes
• Establishing a means of controlling the distribution and management of assets during life and after death
• Retention of privacy of family assets and finances
• Security
