D.C. Code § 19-1304.13: Cy pres.

Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the trust, if a particular charitable purpose is or becomes unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve, or wasteful:

(1)

The trust does not fail, in whole or in part;

(2)

The trust property does not revert to the settlor or the settlor’s successors in interest; and

(3)

The court may apply cy pres to modify or terminate the trust by directing that the trust property be applied or distributed, in whole or in part, in a manner consistent with the settlor’s charitable purposes.
