Life Insurance

You can donate life insurance by transferring ownership and beneficiary status of an existing or new policy to the Red Door Family Shelter, or, you can simply name the Red Door as the beneficiary of your policy.

Other Advantages

Gifts of life insurance are made by transferring ownership of an existing or new policy to the Red Door Family Shelter.  You receive a tax receipt for premiums paid after the date of transfer.  You can also name the Red Door as a beneficiary of your policy—the resulting tax credit will reduce estate taxes and increase the after-tax value of your estate for other beneficiaries.

A gift of life insurance is an affordable way to make a difference.  A modest annual premium paid over time will result in a significant future legacy.
   

  • Give an already paid-up policy and receive a donation receipt for the cash value of the policy.
  • Give an existing policy on which premiums are still being paid, and in return, receive a receipt for the cash value of the policy and subsequent premium payments.
  • Purchase a new policy, transfer ownership to the Red Door Family Shelter, and receive a tax receipt for all payments on the premiums.
  • Retain ownership of the policy and name the Red Door Family Shelter as the direct beneficiary and, when you pass away, your estate will receive a receipt for the face value of the policy.

The Wishing Tree

Not sure what the children at Red Door Family Shelter would like this holiday season? We’ve got you covered with The Wishing Tree! 🎄

Avoid the four stages of gift-giving—“I think they’ll like this!” “I think they’ll like this?!” “Will they like this?” “I hope they like this.”—and remove all the guesswork.

Each child staying in our shelter has written their wish, and we’ve added these heartfelt notes to our Wishing Tree. By choosing a wish to grant, you’ll make holiday dreams come true while keeping your gift-giving stress-free. 🌟
