Gifts of Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to Manchester University. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider donating the policy to Manchester University. 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 Manchester University retains the policy to maturity, you can receive additional tax deductions by making annual gifts so that we can pay the premiums
• If Manchester University cashes in the policy, you will be able to see firsthand how your gift supports our mission and our students
• If we retain the policy to maturity, or you name us as a beneficiary, once the policy matures, the proceeds will help to further our mission of graduating students of ability and conviction who will make a difference in their communities and the world

How to make a gift of life insurance
