Gift of Insurance

Flowchart: Donor makes a gift of an insurance policy to Atterdag. Atterdag either keeps the policy until maturity or cashes in the policy for its cash value.

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to Atterdag. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy to Atterdag. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
