- Gifts of Life Insurance
  
  Perhaps your children are grown and independent, and your other savings are sufficient to meet your retirement needs. Under these circumstances, donating life insurance may be an attractive option and allow you to make a larger gift than you might otherwise afford.
  
  By transferring a life insurance policy prior to death, so that St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish becomes the owner and beneficiary, you are entitled to an immediate charitable deduction for income tax purposes. If you continue to pay the premiums, each payment is also a deductible charitable donation.
  
  Whether this strategy is right for you depends on your specific circumstances and your family's financial situation. We advise you to speak with your financial advisor.
