Gifts through Life Insurance
You can make a gift of either an existing life insurance policy or a new policy for the benefit of The Cabbage Patch.
- An existing policy originally purchased to fill a need that no longer exists would be a meaningful gift to The Cabbage Patch and would allow you a tax deduction equal to the policy’s replacement value (essentially the cash surrender value).
- Any existing premiums paid would be deductible.
- You can designate The Cabbage Patch as the owner and beneficiary of a new life insurance policy.
- Annual premiums paid by you would be deductible.
Please keep in mind that this is only a broad overview of a few options and that there are several tax implications that may apply to your particular circumstances and that tax laws may be revised.
