Giving through life insurance
By donating a life insurance policy, you are helping us address homelessness through a comprehensive approach, offering housing, healthcare and supportive services.
Donating your life insurance is straightforward and adaptable.
You can name DESC as a primary life insurance beneficiary.
To make a donation, contact your insurance provider and request a beneficiary form.
There are two ways you can donate a life insurance policy to DESC:
- You can designate DESC as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of any policy.
- You can donate an existing life insurance policy that you no longer need.
For more information, contact your insurance provider to determine the best option for you!
Have any questions, want to make a donation, or have made one? Reach out to Kenny Fox our Major & Planned Giving Officer here at DESC at kfox3@desc.org or at (206) 209-6065.
By designating DESC as the owner of your life insurance policy, you may qualify for tax benefits.
Did you know? Donating your life insurance involves minimal paperwork and effort, offering the financial advantage of retaining ownership of your policy while removing the asset from your potential taxable estate. You have the flexibility to change your beneficiaries at any time; just let us know!
You might also consider a new life insurance policy. With affordable payments, which can even be automated, you can create a gift that supports our community for years to come.
