Life Insurance

How it works

• You transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to Children's Hospital Oakland.
  
  
• Children's Hospital cashes the policy now, or maintains it and receives the death benefit later.
   
  

Benefits

• You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the cash surrender value of the policy.
  
  
• 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 gain the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Children's Hospital without adversely affecting your cash flow.
