When it comes to donating your life insurance to charity, some policies may be better suited than others. While it’s possible to donate either a term life or whole life insurance policy, a permanent policy ensures a donation no matter when you pass away. A term life policy could potentially expire while you’re still living, and then your death benefit wouldn’t be distributed. A permanent policy, whether it’s a whole or universal life insurance policy, as long as the premium is paid, will pay out a death benefit regardless of how long you live.
By donating your policy or naming Warren Achievement Center as a beneficiary, you can rest assured the policy still benefits a cause you care about. Plus, depending on your circumstances, it might allow you to make a much larger one-time donation than you’d be able to make using cash from your estate.

Making a charitable gift of grain provides positive tax results for the donor. Gifting grain generally results in a lower adjusted gross income for the donor because the sale of the gifted grain will not be reported as income on the donor’s income tax return. Reduced taxable income can potentially lessen the amount of income tax and self-employment tax owed by the donor. The donor may be able to deduct the production costs associated with growing the donated grain. Tax advantages generally apply to those donors who are active producers.
When making a gift of grain to Warren Achievement Center, documentation is important. To receive the tax advantages, the donor needs to be able to show that they gave up “dominion and control” over the grain. The donor should present a letter to Warren Achievement Center that describes the commodity and the quantity being gifted. The letter should also indicate the name and contact information of the elevator where the donor will deliver the grain. Warren Achievement Center will then be able to sell the commodity and receive a check from the elevator.

Retirement accounts increasingly have become the resource for individuals who wish to make charitable bequests. IRAs and qualified employer retirement plans such as 401(k)s or 403(b)s often represent a donor’s most effective method for giving – as well as an easy, tax-efficient way to fund your legacy.
Donating an IRA or other retirement plan monies to Warren Achievement Center can be a tax-smart estate planning strategy. When done properly, charitable donations of tax-deferred retirement assets can reduce the amount of income taxes owed both by your estate and by individual heirs.
If you are over the age of 70 1/2, you can transfer up to $100,000 (annually) directly from your individual retirement account (IRA) to Warren Achievement Center tax-free. If you are 72 or older, this gift will count toward your required annual minimum distribution.
