I am in Oregon and am interested in a referral to a lawyer or planner that can help set up a Charitable Trust. 

A controversial technique that not everyone is comfortable with.Some trusts, such as charitable remainder trusts (CRTs).

1 - Any qualified charitable organization that aligns with his values, and accepts donations of real estate.2 - If he donates the land to a qualified organization he wouldn't realize gain or loss on disposal, instead he'd get a charitable contribution deduction for the fair market value of the land. 

Be charitable on your time, run your rental business separately.  

Things that have come to my mind are:Finding locations - how to pay and willing companies with space or charititys with space to make it affordableHow to advertise for interested membersDo I need a license to run a group of this sortWhen to consider charging membersWhat to do during these meetingThese are the things that have crossed my mind.

Other methods are combinations of Bypass Trusts, charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts, etc.

Such as paying your state taxes to a ‘charitable’ fund in the state of CA to be able to deduct your state taxes as a charitable deduction not subject to a 10k cap instead of as taxes paid.

Happy to share more details for those interested in my situation or want to charitably help me make some critical decisions in the next couple days.Here is Brian's article I'm referring to: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/2...

Would you transfer a property to a charitable LLC or 1031 exchange?

If you want to stay in REI, I would recommend biting the bullet and getting a PM - its going to make your life so much easier.Now, a more complicated option (but one with some great long-term benefits) would be to consider a Charitable Remainder Trust.
