You want secure, stable income at a high payout rate–with a gift made in either cash or stock.

How It Works

You transfer cash or securities to Girl Scouts River Valleys. Our minimum gift requirement is $20,000. Girl Scouts River Valleys pays you, you and a spouse, or any two beneficiaries you name, fixed income for life. Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least 70 years of age at the time of the gift. The remaining balance passes to Girl Scouts River Valleys when the contract ends.

A charitable remainder unitrust is like a combination of a gift and an investment plan. You place assets in a trust, and you (and/or another beneficiary) receive lifetime income from them—with Girl Scouts receiving the remainder.

How It Works

You transfer cash, securities, or other appreciated property into a trust. The required minimum for this type of gift is $100,000. The trust pays a percentage of the value of its principal, which is valued annually, to you or beneficiaries you name. When the trust terminates, the remainder passes to Girl Scouts River Valleys to be used as you have directed.
