A quick definition of charitable trusts purposes:

A charitable trust is a type of trust that receives special treatment under U.S. law. To be considered charitable, the trust must have a specific purpose that benefits the community, such as helping the poor, promoting education, advancing religion, or supporting health. Charitable trusts are not subject to certain legal restrictions and can continue indefinitely.

A more thorough explanation:

A charitable trust is a type of trust that is recognized by U.S. law and receives certain favorable treatment. To qualify as a charitable trust, it must have a specific purpose that is considered charitable. This purpose can include:

  • Relief of poverty
  • Advancement of education
  • Advancement of religion
  • Promotion of health
  • Governmental or municipal purposes
  • Other purposes beneficial to the community

For example, a charitable trust could be set up to provide scholarships to underprivileged students, support a religious organization, or fund medical research. These purposes are considered charitable because they aim to benefit the community in some way.

One example of a case involving a charitable trust is In re Alaimo, where the court determined that a trust set up to provide scholarships to students was a valid charitable trust. Another example is In re Board of Trustees of Huntington Free Library & Reading Room, where the court found that a trust set up to support a library was also a valid charitable trust.

Overall, charitable trusts serve an important role in supporting various charitable causes and organizations, and can provide tax benefits to those who set them up.
