You can give a life insurance policy, paid up or with premiums remaining, to the Hinsdale Central Foundation by naming the Hinsdale Central Foundation as both beneficiary and owner of the policy. Your charitable deduction will approximate the cash value of the insurance policy at the time of the gift. You may also consider making a restricted annual gift to offset premiums on the policy, should they remain.
To do this, please send a letter such as the one below to your insurance agent.
