What are the differences between giving in a single lump sum and giving in perpetuity? 

15 November 2023

There are key differences between giving to charity in a single lump sum and giving in perpetuity. 

  1. Leaving a gift of money or assets in a single lump sum to your favourite charity means the charity will receive that gift in full once your estate has been finalised. 
  1. Providing a gift to your favourite charity in perpetuity through a charitable trust favours maximising the value of your gift and pledging long term financial support through an annual income stream.
