Life Insurance

Life insurance adds great flexibility to your charitable giving plans.

Do you own life insurance policies that are no longer needed?

Examples:

  • Protection for a spouse or a child who is now financially independent
  • Insured education funds for children who have now completed their training
  • Protection for a business in which protection is no longer required
  • Provision for estate taxes not needed because your estate is now exempt from taxes (More than 90% of estates may now be exempt)

Here are some great ways to give life insurance to San Diego Rescue Mission:

  • Give a paid-up policy that you already own by changing the owner and beneficiary to San Diego Rescue Mission
  • Name San Diego Rescue Mission as the owner and primary beneficiary of a policy on which you are still paying premiums
  • Name San Diego Rescue Mission as a charitable recipient of a policy you own––as a primary beneficiary, secondary beneficiary or final beneficiary
  • Purchase a new policy, naming San Diego Rescue Mission as the primary beneficiary, or transfer ownership to San Diego Rescue Mission

The benefits of making a life-insurance gift:

  • The gift and related tax benefits are immediate
  • Gifted cash values of paid-up policies can be deductible for up to 50% of your adjusted gross income, and amounts over 50% can be carried forward
  • Future premiums can be deductible when ownership of a policy is transferred to San Diego Rescue Mission
  • Your confidentiality is assured as life insurance is not a matter of public record
