Gifts of Life Insurance
(Complete gift description)

Your financial projections may indicate that you won't accumulate large blocks of capital during your lifetime, or that your family will have first call on your estate. You want to make a significant gift to the University of Connecticut Foundation, but wonder if you'll find the resources to do so.

Life insurance uses manageable payments made from income — the premiums — to create a large future gift for the University of Connecticut Foundation. You can build our long-term financial strength without diminishing your own.

Besides creating a new life insurance policy, you can also donate an existing policy. This gift will generate an initial tax deduction: the lesser of the policy's fair market value — we can guide you in determining this — or the total of your net premium payments. If premiums are still payable, we will ask you to make tax-deductible contributions offsetting our payment of those premiums. We do reserve the right to keep such a policy in force during your lifetime, or to terminate it sooner for its cash-surrender value.
