Designating the HEC Montréal Foundation as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy

An economical way of making a meaningful contribution
Jean-François Cloutier

“I topped up my donation by including the HEC Montréal Foundation in my will as a recipient of a portion of the death benefit from a life insurance policy I have. The tax credit will reduce the actual cost of the policy… which lets me optimize the net value of my estate.”

Jean-François Cloutier, HEC Montréal 2008

You can maintain control over your life insurance policy by continuing to be the owner and naming the Foundation as the beneficiary directly in your policy or by indicating in your will that you are leaving all or part of the death benefit to the Foundation.

  • You can leave a substantial donation in exchange for affordable premium payments.
  • This can be particularly beneficial if it is likely your estate will have a heavy tax burden to bear.
  • The HEC Montéal Foundation will receive the death benefit from the policy, and a tax receipt for this amount will be forwarded to your estate.
  • Your generosity will be acknowledged during your lifetime, even though your gift will be disbursed at a later date.
