Life insurance

You can name the Society as a beneficiary on your current life insurance policy, or even turn over ownership of the policy to the Society.

Many don’t use all their retirement savings during their life.  Those unused assets can become a gift to the Society.   It can be a tax-efficient way to make the Society a part of your total estate plan.
