may be accepted subject to prior approval by the Executive Director. Valuation of
such gifts will be made in accordance to IRS requirements, and supported by a third-party
appraisal where appropriate.
Life Insurance
The Foundation accepts various types of life insurance policies as gifts. A policy
that is no longer needed for its original purpose may be transferred to the Foundation,
or a new policy naming the Foundation as beneficiary may be established to meet your
philanthropic goals. Please contact the RCCD Foundation to discuss your options for
making a gift of life insurance.
