Life insurance beneficiary
Make a significant gift with life insurance
Giving life insurance through Fresno Regional Foundation is one of the simplest ways to make a significant contribution to your community and establish your legacy of giving.
Charitable beneficiary
You can make a gift when life insurance is no longer needed for personal financial wealth replacement. By naming Fresno Regional Foundation as the beneficiary, you retain ownership of the policy, access to the cash value, and the right to change the beneficiary. You may receive a number of tax benefits, including reduced income taxes and estate taxes. If you continue paying premiums through your community foundation, you will be entitled to a charitable contribution deduction of up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Upon your death, the insurance proceeds will create a fund to support charitable programs in the Fresno region.
Life insurance trust
You can replace the dollar value of an asset transferred to your community foundation with a life insurance policy. You can use regular payments from a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust to establish an irrevocable life insurance trust. The trust can purchase insurance on your life to benefit your heirs. This way, you can make a gift to the Foundation and replace its value in your estate with life insurance proceeds, allowing you to maximize the value of your assets for your heirs and for charity.
