Notes:
Gifts of Life Insurance
Did you know that gifts of life insurance are an excellent way to make a charitable gift to Bishop Guilfoyle? Often times, people have multiple policies that they have purchased for various reasons. Perhaps a policy you purchased years ago is no longer needed for the purpose intended. A gift of life insurance is easy to make and in most cases is tax deductible. Proceeds are paid out to the beneficiary shortly after death. You may choose to make Bishop Guilfoyle the owner and beneficiary of a policy, or simply a beneficiary. Please contact the Development Office for more information on making a gift of life insurance.
