Publicly Traded Stocks and Mutual Funds
Gifts of appreciated securities held for more than one year may allow you to avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.

You can name Central Carolina Community Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of a policy, or retain ownership and name the Foundation as a primary or contingent beneficiary.
