Create future impact with a life insurance gift

Life insurance can be a powerful, affordable way to create future impact. Your gift helps families today and strengthens our work to promote dignity, inclusion and respect.

Ways to give life insurance

Name us as beneficiary

Designate The Alexander Foundation to receive all or a percentage of a policy's death benefit. You keep ownership and can change it any time.

Transfer a paid-up policy

Give a policy you no longer need. You may be eligible for a deduction based on its value.

Buy a new policy

Name the foundation as owner and beneficiary and make tax-deductible gifts to cover premiums.

How to proceed

  1. Request a beneficiary designation or ownership assignment form from your insurer.
  2. Use our details: The Alexander Foundation, EIN 03-0534249, PO Box 584, Grand Blanc, MI 48439.
  3. Email us at [email protected] so we can confirm the designation and honor your preferences for recognition or anonymity.

Common questions

Is my gift revocable?
Beneficiary designations are revocable. Transferring ownership of a policy is generally irrevocable. Your advisor can explain the implications.
What about term versus permanent policies?
Both can name The Alexander Foundation as beneficiary. Ownership transfers typically involve permanent policies with current cash value.
Can my estate receive a deduction?
Estate tax rules vary. Your legal and tax advisors can outline potential benefits.

Two ways to take the next step

For families

You are not alone in this.

If your child has Cloverleaf Syndrome or another craniofacial condition and the bills are piling up, tell us what is happening. We help where we can, and we will point you to people who can help with the rest.

For supporters

Every dollar reaches a family.

Nobody at the foundation is paid. Apart from minimal supplies and tax filing, every gift goes to families, hospitals, schools and books that change how children treat each other.
