Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

Gifts of Life Insurance

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How It Works

  You transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to KCET.

  After the transfer, KCET 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 income tax deduction for the lesser of the cash surrender value of the policy or the total of you premium payments.
  • 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 have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now to KCET without adversely affecting your cash flow.
