Amphibian Conservation Alliance accepts gifts of life insurance as either the:

     1.  Beneficiary of a policy, or
     2.  Sole owner and sole beneficiary.

Either way, we can use these gifts to help us protect and preserve amphibian wildlife around the world.

Option 1:  Beneficiary of a policy - Designating ACA as a beneficiary of an insurance policy

You can name Amphibian Conservation Alliance as primary beneficiary of your life insurance policy or as contingent beneficiary should your other beneficiaries not survive you. After your lifetime, the benefits from your policy pass to us free of federal estate tax.

Changing your beneficiaries is easy. Simply contact your insurance carrier and request a beneficiary form.

How to Name Us as a Beneficiary – Legal designation information for beneficiary forms

How It Works
Years ago, Jason bought a life insurance policy to protect his family. His family no longer needs this protection and he decides to name ACA as the beneficiary of the policy. After Jason's lifetime, the policy benefits will come to us to further our mission of saving amphibian wildlife.

Option 2:  Sole owner and sole beneficiary - Making an outright gift of a paid-up insurance policy

You can donate your paid-up life insurance policy to ACA. If the policy has a cash value, we would have the option of either holding the policy until the maturity date or surrendering the policy in order to receive the policy's current cash value.

How It Works
Jane bought a life insurance policy years ago that she now wants to donate to ACA. Since she gave the policy to us, Jane can claim an income tax charitable deduction. The total amount of the policy is removed from her estate, and we will use the gift to further our mission of saving amphibian wildlife.
