Use Life Insurance to Make a Gift to Rosary Academy
A life insurance policy can be a versatile and effective asset for making a significant charitable gift to Rosary Academy. There are two basic ways insurance can be used to help support Rosary, and each offers different benefits to you.
Option 1: Make Rosary Academy the beneficiary of the policy
This option allows you to:
- Create a meaningful legacy at Rosary Academy
- Reduce the size of your taxable estate
- Retain the flexibility to change your mind
Option 2: Make Rosary Academy the owner and beneficiary of an existing policy
This option allows you to:
- Make an irrevocable gift to Rosary Academy today with little or no impact on your current cash flow
- Receive a charitable tax deduction for a portion of your gift
In addition, if premiums remain to be paid on the policy, a charitable deduction is allowed for each gift you make to Rosary to cover the premiums.
