Charity Trust

What Is A Charity Trust?

A charity trust is a trust that is set up to give monies out to general or specific charitable organisations in order to help the general public or a specific group of the general public.

In order to be a charitable trust, it must be able to help the public in some form or another. The main categories of charitable trusts are for the relief of poverty, for the advancement of education, for the advancement of religion, and for any other type of purpose that is beneficial to the public that does not fall within the range of the three previous categories.

The charity trust that helps the relief of poverty is one that helps to give people the basic necessities of living such as shelter, food and water, and clothing. The charity trust is designed to be for the poor and destitute but this does not totally mean people who are without anything. The charity trust is for people who somehow do not have the standards in order to live properly. This type of charity trust could be used to form soup kitchens, temporary shelters, and clothes closets or a certain amount of money given to an organization that houses the homeless.

A charity trust that helps the advancement of education is one that helps people of poor countries to get an education. It can also be used in giving to organizations that help schools get the needed books and equipment for the learning process that they may not have the money for but need. These are not given to the individual who wants to go to school but just can't afford it.

The charity trust that helps the advancement of religion is one that that helps the churches and the clergy members to help the people of their congregation. There are monies that are given for free suppers for the public, for church necessities and also for clergy payroll.

A charity trust that helps all of the other aspects that do not fall into these categories are a charity trust that helps the sick and disabled, a charity trust that helps the aged, a charity trust that helps to support the armed forces, police, and other emergency services, a charity for local orphanages, a charity trust for forms of political activity, and a charity trust for social, sporting, and recreational activities. There are some unique needs that come up from time to time that a charity trust could also be used for.
