Gifts of Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy to The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.

Benefits of gifts of life insurance

  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction
  • If The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia retains the policy to maturity, you can receive additional tax deductions by making annual gifts so that we can pay the premiums
  • If The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia cashes in the policy, you will be able to see firsthand how your gift supports our charitable work
  • If we retain the policy to maturity, or you name us as a beneficiary, once the policy matures, the proceeds of your policy will be paid to our organization so that we can use the proceeds to further our charitable work

You can also designate The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia as a partial, full or contingent beneficiary of your life insurance policy. You will continue to own and can make use of the policy during your lifetime. Your estate may benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction.

Your deduction for the gift of life insurance will depend on whether the policy has increased in value above the premiums and whether the policy is paid up or there are remaining payments to be made.
