Gifts of Life Insurance

How It Works

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

After the transfer, Clemson University 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 Clemson University without adversely affecting your cash flow.
