EFSC Foundation Gift Planning Guide | Page 12

Life Insurance > Name EFSC as the beneficiary Benefits Life insurance allows donors to leverage their resources while providing an extraordinary gift for future Titans. You can donate your existing policy by making EFSC owner/ beneficiary and receive an income tax deduction for the value of the policy. Did You Know?  If you prefer, you can maintain ownership of your policy but name EFSC as a beneficiary. This way you maintain the flexibility to change beneficiaries if your situation changes. Fully paid-up policies are preferable to EFSC. The college may cash out gifts of policies not fully paid up unless the donor makes gifts to EFSC to cover future premium payments. If you have a term policy (often provided as an employment benefit) consider naming EFSC as a beneficiary. 12
