Underappreciated and overlooked: Why life insurance matters to charitable giving

Even when a life insurance policy is no longer needed for its original purpose, it can still create meaningful charitable impact. Whether you name a fund at KCF as the beneficiary, transfer ownership of an existing policy, or explore more advanced planning strategies, life insurance can offer flexibility, tax benefits, and long-term support for the causes you care about. The KCF team is here to help you evaluate your options.

Reminders to donors: There’s more to give than just cash and stock

Many donors default to writing a check, not realizing they can give more efficiently with appreciated assets. Beyond publicly traded stock, donors may contribute business interests, real estate, QCDs, life insurance, and more. Kitsap Community Foundation provides the expertise to accept and manage these complex gifts, helping your organization expand giving options and strengthen its endowment with confidence.
