S8 does not pay for security deposits, though other charitable organizations might. 

If you have donated assets to a Charitable Remainder Trust, and became the trustee of the trust, please share your experience regarding control and ongoing expenses.

We are in Write on mode not write off.. so yes we pay tax.. but that's OK  at my age and where I am at I don't want to 1031.. and or in a position to do charitable remainder trusts etc.. so for me its stacking cash.. and deleveraging..

@Karen Margrave Hi Karen, thanks for that, I have uploaded a picture of a charitable and philantropic organization where I am a proud member, Shriner's International.

You were in a pinch after years of being solid, found a charitable way to gift the fire department, and helped them do a "hands on" training and rescue !  

Sounds like you need to take up a charitable cause or two.

So say my efforts to tip the neighborhood forward have been charitable - but that discounts the business savvy.

I know there are Delaware Statutory Trusts and Charitable Remainder Trusts, but are there other vehicles for selling your properties that we should be researching?

Can you take advantage of any charitable deductions this month?

It was the use of the property the elderly lady was concerned about, I designed it through a charitable remainder trust for her family and to provide low-mod housing.
