Insuring your board members
Insuring the lives of your board members will generate large windfalls of money for your organization.
ICS Inc. and our strategic partners in the financial industry have developed The ICS Legacy Plan. Any board member, even if non-compensated, may participate in a voluntary plan which allows the nonprofit to insure his or her life in the amount of $100,000 for the future benefit of the nonprofit. The nonprofit is the owner, premium payer and beneficiary, thus giving the organization total control.
Eliminating uncertainty
Many nonprofits have experienced the disappointment of an anticipated large windfall donation at the passing of a board member, only to receive nothing. Without the control that ownership gives, the beneficiary can be changed; this is why ownership is important.
The ICS Legacy Plan ensures that your organization will receive the benefit of the policy. As the owner, the nonprofit controls who is designated as the beneficiary.
Even if they retire, or their term expires
Even if the board member has retired, or their term has expired, the policy will remain in force. Simply engage The ICS Legacy Plan and tuck it away; think of it as a drawer full of promises.
What about insurable interest
Yes, your nonprofit has insurable interest in its board members. As long as your organization meets the definition of a charitable organization provided in 26 USC 170 (c) or 26 USC 501 (c) (3), and the written consent of the board member is obtained, your nonprofit has insurable interest.
Once available only to for-profit companies
This
paradigm shift in the thinking of the financial world allows nonprofit
organizations to enjoy many of the same benefits and programs used for
decades by the most successful for-profit businesses. The ICS Legacy Plan allows
any director or board member of a nonprofit, even if non-compensated,
to volunteer to participate in a plan which allows the nonprofit to
insure their life for the future benefit of the nonprofit.
Saying thank you to your board members
Imagine, The ICS Legacy Plan may allow your board members, and their families, to be recognized
as major philanthropists! In addition to their other achievements, the
lives of the board members would be celebrated as major benefactors to
your nonprofit; recognized today and remembered tomorrow by the
organization and the entire community. Their lives, and their inevitable
passing, will be positive examples anyone would be proud to emulate.
The
ICS Legacy Plan is the answer
The ICS
Legacy Plan will enhance the way you fund your nonprofit because
we’ve changed the way the financial sector views the relationship
your board members have with your nonprofit.
Your board members, aside from their current responsibilities, may now choose
to play a greater role in providing future dollars to fund your
organization.
