Are you looking for a greater purpose that will allow your assets to live on beyond you?

In this episode, Jeff, Tim, and Pete discuss: 

• What a purpose trust is and how it may benefit your generosity beyond your lifetime.  
• How Farmer’s Organic Market and Patagonia are leading the way with purpose trusts. 
• Comparing a traditional trust with a perpetual purpose trust.
• Minimizing conflict and maximizing impact.

Key Takeaways: 

• Every trust must have a beneficiary. Until a few years ago, that had to be a person, pet, or cemetery plot. Now, there is a 4th beneficiary - a purpose.
• Traditional trusts can be revocable or non-revocable. Perpetual purpose trusts are non-revocable.
• Purpose trusts may be new to the US but have been functioning in Europe for much longer.
• There are many ways to negotiate ownership and shares with a trust, organization, or family. These purpose trusts can be structured in many ways to help promote your chosen purpose.

"As long as you have a purpose, you can begin putting assets into the trust. These assets that are there need to promote the purpose." —  Pete Ochs
