Are you considering planned giving with life insurance? Planned giving with life insurance is how Eileen and Don chose to make their impact last.
The couple has called Nashville home for more than 30 years. Nashville is where they’ve built a life filled with friendship, kindness, and community.
When it came time to retire, there was no question—they were staying.
They’ve seen hard times too, and they remember how others stepped in to help. So when they learned how many of their Middle and West Tennessee neighbors are facing hunger, they wanted to give that same support back.
“We appreciate that Second Harvest has an immediate impact on the people and organizations they support,” they said. “Access to healthy food reduces anxiety, improves student performance, job performance, and overall health.”
That’s when they decided to take their giving one step further.
Eileen and Don donated a portion of Don’s life insurance policy to Second Harvest. Planned giving with life insurance allowed them to increase their impact while also receiving a tax benefit—since the value of the gift wasn’t counted as income.
For them, it’s not just about a policy or tax savings. It’s about helping neighbors thrive for years to come.
