Insurance Policies in a Nutshell

Life Insurance Policies make up approximately 1/3 of the total gifts to our Endowment.  With over 100 policies, they can be both a blessing and a pain.  As a planned giving vehicle, a life insurance policy offers an tool for leveraging donor dollars.  However, underwriting, annual monitoring, and the accounting challenges can make them a very time consuming challenge for even the largest United Ways. 

You will find a 1 page overview of our governing policies for gifts of insurance by clicking HERE.  As always, I upload the documents to Google Drive and access is limited, so it's safe. 

Finally, if you are considering adding insurance policies as a planned giving option, seriously consider United Way Life.
