A Charitable Remainder Trust is a trust account into which you transfer assets, including fund interests, tax-free. The trust then pays you (or your designee) an income stream for the life of the trust. You can choose the term of the trust or have the term be your lifetime. When the trust ends, the remaining assets are distributed to the charities you select.
Another major benefit of these trusts is the ability to contribute assets into them and then sell them and reinvest the proceeds all tax-free. You also get a tax deduction, usually about 10% of the value of the contributed assets, in the year you created the trust.
Unicorn shareholders create a Charitable Remainder trust by exchanging some of their shares for a Collective Exchange Fund partnership interest and then contributing that interest into their trust:

Form your Charitable Remainder Trust, customizing its parameters to fit your needs and contribute your $500,000 partnership interest into it. Take an immediate ~$50,000 tax deduction.
Each year after the first, redeem some of your Exchange Fund partnership interest for cash tax free - use the cash to fund new investments tax-free and/or take cash distributions
After the first year, your partnership interest has appreciated and is now worth $620,000. Redeem $40,000 of the interest for cash and take that cash as a distribution. The following year the partnership interest is now worth $700,000 - you elect to redeem $60,000, taking $20,000 in a distribution and reinvesting the other $40,000 tax-free into new assets to further diversify.
