Life Insurance Policy

If you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need to provide for dependents, consider naming Rose Haven as the beneficiary. This would enable you to make a significant gift to Rose Haven without using any of your estate assets.

Another option is to make Rose Haven both the beneficiary and owner of a paid-up policy you no longer need. This option will provide you with an immediate income tax deduction equal to the current value of the policy. Contact the policy’s issuing agent for instructions about how to transfer ownership of your policy.

IRA or Retirement Plan

You can designate all or a portion of the balance of your retirement plan to support Rose Haven. If you name an individual as the beneficiary on your IRA account, the funds would be taxed heavily and the individual beneficiary would receive cents on the dollar.

By naming Rose Haven as the beneficiary, the full value of the account will pass to Rose Haven to be used to benefit homeless women and children of Portland.

To name Rose Haven the beneficiary of your life insurance policy or your IRA account, contact an agent from the institution and request a Beneficiary Designation Form. Enter the following information on this form.
