Everyone Wins

Everybody Wins: The Six Stakeholder Map

Most ways of giving force a trade-off: give more, keep less. [n]dowed is built so everyone involved comes out ahead.

$1 Million Donation Example:
You — the person who funds the charitable trust
A tax deduction equal to your full gift. Your assets protected right away. And the chance to see your giving make a difference in your lifetime.
$370K of cash saved
Heirs, children, dynasty trust beneficiaries
$4.8M+ passed on tax-free when the trust ends. No estate tax. No income tax. Shielded from creditors from day one.
$4.8M+ to heirs
Universities, donor-advised funds, or foundations you pick
A locked-in $3.2M+ commitment, backed by real assets from day one — 3.2× your original gift.
$3.2M+ to charity
University development professionals
Full $1M new-gift (NGC) credit in year one, under CASE 2024 rules — the OCLAT counts the same as a straight cash gift.
$1M NGC credit
Endowment, campaign totals, planning
A binding, enforceable commitment that counts toward fundraising campaigns, with steady, predictable yearly payments.
$3.2M+ booked
Wealth managers & RIAs
Keeps the money under your management instead of losing it to a one-time gift — the family's share stays invested with you for the full term.

How It Works

Three Steps to Lasting Impact

The whole thing takes just two calls over about two weeks. Here's how it works.

01
Contribute Assets
Put in cash, stocks, or business interests. A key IRS interest rate (the §7520 rate) locks in the day you fund the trust, which makes your deduction as large as possible.
Full tax deduction
02
Deduct + Compound
You take the full income-tax deduction in year one. The money is invested by you and grows inside the trust while your chosen charities receive fixed, guaranteed yearly payments.
$1M → $3M+ to charity
03
Family Receives the Rest
When the term ends, whatever's left — now grown — goes to your family, or a family trust, free of gift and estate taxes. And you're around to see the good your giving did.

Who This Is For

Built for Moments That Define Legacies

The OCLAT fits five common situations — from regular yearly giving to selling a business. Here are the moments where it matters most.

Ongoing Donors & Philanthropists
You already give to causes you love every year. The OCLAT lets you commit a decade of giving all at once, deduct it all today, and get what's left back.
Sale of a Business
Selling a company for $20M. Pledge to your alma mater, protect assets from the windfall, and pass wealth to your children tax-free.
Real Estate Exit
A family sells a $5M commercial property they bought for far less. The OCLAT reduces the capital-gains tax 30%, funds yearly gifts to charity, and protects the proceeds for their heirs.
Concentrated Stock
A senior executive holds $10M in company stock. Simply moving those increasingly valuable shares into an OCLAT unlocks a large 30% tax deduction.
Estate Planning
An advisor's client wants to shrink a $50M taxable estate. The OCLAT moves money out of the estate while funding the causes the client cares about.

Important Assumptions & Disclosures

  1. 1–5× returned to family. The range reflects the trust term you choose: at an assumed 8% annual return, a longer term compounds more before the remainder returns to your heirs (illustratively ~1× at 15 years, ~2× at 20 years, up to ~5× at 30 years). Shorter terms return less; results are not guaranteed and depend on actual investment performance, the §7520 rate at funding, and your tax situation.
  2. 8% assumed annual return. Used for illustration only. Modeled outcomes are stress-tested with Monte Carlo simulation across a range of market scenarios; actual returns will be higher or lower and may be negative in any given year. Not a projection or guarantee of future performance.
  3. “Zero known IRS audits.” Reflects the experience of the OCLATs implemented to date by Jonathon Morrison; it is not a prediction that any individual trust will not be examined, and is not an assurance of any particular tax outcome.
