Gifts of Insurance
A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to Episcopal Church Foundation. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy to Episcopal Church Foundation. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
Benefits of gifts of life insurance
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction
- If your preferred Episcopal charity or parish retains the policy to maturity, you can receive additional tax deductions by making annual gifts so that they can pay the premiums
- If your preferred Episcopal charity or parish cashes in the policy, you will be able to see firsthand how your gift supports their charitable work
- If your preferred Episcopal charity or parish retains the policy to maturity, or you name your preferred Episcopal charity or parish as a beneficiary, once the policy matures, the proceeds of your policy will be paid to your preferred Episcopal charity or parish so that they can use the proceeds to further their charitable work
