You can either designate the Community Foundation as the beneficiary or you can gift the policy during your life and likely receive an immediate income tax deduction.
Retirement Assets. Retirement assets can be easily gifted to the Community Foundation by changing the beneficiary designation.
Charitable Remainder Trust. A charitable remainder trust is established by you and is a separate trust that benefits only you or your designated beneficiaries.
