Stop Charities and Donors from Wasting Billions Every Year

Seniors who own life insurance often face a dilemma when they no longer need their policy or can afford the premium required to keep it in force. With few options most seniors lapse or surrender their life insurance. Charities, in need of annual giving, are facing inflation, depressed markets in stocks, bonds, real estate, bitcoin and more. When charities refuse to accept donations of life insurance, they miss out on a multi-trillion dollar asset class and a valuable alternative to cash gifts. Charities often refuse to accept donations of life insurance because of the expense, administrative hassles, or lack of expertise. 

Seniors who either surrender their policy or sell it and donate the cash to charity are depriving the charity of the full value of the policy which may be significantly larger than the surrender or life settlement value. The majority of charities who do accept donations of life insurance require their donors to sign an advance agreement obligating them to continue paying the premium. Fortunately, there is a new solution which aligns the interests of charities and their donors.

Find Billions in Your Donors Trash

What is the size of this missed opportunity?

Despite the enormous size of this asset class, it remains largely untapped as a source of charitable funds.
