Gift of Life Insurance
A most generous gift
Life insurance's primary goal is to protect our loved ones. In situations where life insurance has served its original purpose, it can be a wonderful and significant gift to Davis Community Church.
Steps to Gift Insurance
- Request a designation form from your insurer.
- Name Davis Community Church as owner and beneficiary of your paid-up life insurance policy (see table below for other strategies). When making Davis Community Church owner and/or beneficiary of an insurance policy, please contact us to ensure your request is honored.
- You are eligible for a tax deduction for the cash value of the policy.
- Your generous gift of an existing insurance policy may be kept for future benefit or cashed in by Davis Community Church.
Here are some other ways to make a gift of life insurance.
| Gift Option | Tax Benefits |
|---|---|
| Donate a paid-up policy | Deduct the approximate cash-surrender value |
| Purchase a new life insurance policy | Deduct the premiums if Davis Community Church is named the owner |
| Donate a policy where you continue to pay premiums | Deduct the approximate cash value and future premiums |
| Name Davis Community Church as the beneficiary (primary, secondary or contingent) | No immediate tax benefits available, but the asset is not included in your taxable estate |
