·         Charitable life insurance gifts generate tax deductions based on the premium payments.

·         The donor’s estate remains undiminished in spite of making a substantial charitable gift.

·         Donors receive the satisfaction of knowing their gifts will help support their favorite charitable organizations long after they are gone.
