    A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a lasting gift to create a legacy. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults. You may also consider participating in the Federation's Special Life Insurance Program.
