Gifts of Life Insurance
(A Gift of Buried Treasure)
How it works
|
You transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to Tufts University. |
|
|
Tufts elects to cash in the policy now or to keep the policy and receive the death benefit later. |
Benefits
- You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the cash surrender value of the policy.
- In some cases, you can use the cash value in your policy to fund a life-income gift, such as a deferred gift annuity.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now to Tufts without adversely affecting your cash flow.
