Life Insurance

A gift of life insurance is a great way to leverage your impact at Georgia allowing you to make a sizable gift for pennies on the dollar.

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT OF LIFE INSURANCE

  • You can make a meaningful impact by naming the “University of Georgia Foundation” owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy. If your policy is not fully paid up, you can make an annual gift to the University of Georgia Foundation to cover the annual premium payment. When the policy matures, the proceeds will be paid to the University of Georgia Foundation to be used in accordance with your designated intentions. Click here to view the Foundation’s policies with respect to acceptance of ownership of a life insurance policy.
  • Rather than transferring ownership of a policy, you may also wish to consider simply designating the “University of Georgia Foundation” beneficiary of all or a percentage of an existing policy. To designate the Foundation beneficiary, please contact your life insurance provider to request a beneficiary form which will allow you to update your beneficiary information.

  • If policy not fully paid up, you may also receive a deduction for annual premium payments if the Foundation owns the policy
  • You can make a meaningful impact with modest premium payments
  • Great way to leverage your gift and enhance your legacy impact beyond what you thought possible
