Help fulfill the mission of Indiana 4-H by planning a gift that is meaningful and lasting
Naming the Indiana 4-H Foundation as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy is a simple and meaningful way to create a lasting impact. This approach allows you to make a significant future gift while minimizing the effect on your current financial needs. By choosing a policy with a premium that fits your budget today, manageable monthly or annual payments will ultimately become a transformative gift that will benefit generations of 4-Hers to come.

Here’s how to name the Indiana 4-H Foundation or another charitible organization as a beneficiary:
- Choose the policy: You can name a charity the beneficiary of a current policy or a new one. Beneficiaries can be named for term, whole life, and universal policies.
- Decide how much to give: You can make the charity the full beneficiary (100% of the policy) or a partial beneficiary, sharing the benefit with family, other individuals, or charitable organizations.
- Update your beneficiary designation: Contact your insurance company to create a new life insurance policy or to update the beneficiary of a current policy.
- Let the charity know: While not required, notifying the charity allows them to recognize your gift and to ensure your wishes for the gift are clearly understood.
