Life Insurance

Do you have an existing life insurance policy which is no longer needed or your circumstances have changed?

A life insurance policy can be an excellent tool for making a gift to support the work of the Smithsonian Institution. A gift can be accomplished simply by making the Institution the beneficiary of an existing policy. The Smithsonian would then receive the proceeds of the policy after the covered party's lifetime. If you contribute the policy to us and continue paying the premiums, you will be entitled to an income tax deduction.
 

If you would like more information on gifts of life insurance or would like to discuss options in more detail, please contact our Planned Giving Professionals.
