Bill: I want to use some of my money to support charities that are important to me. How can I do that?

Description: Bill and his advisor sit opposite one another in a room setting.

Advisor: There are lots of ways to give, but one way to enhance your donation is with life insurance.

Description: Screen transitions to an illustration of a life insurance policy.

Advisor: Your donation is the life insurance policy.

Description: The life insurance policy illustration moves to the left of the screen, and an illustration of stacks of coins appears to the right of it.

Description: The illustration of the stacks of coins gets larger than it was originally.

Bill: Would I still get a tax credit?

Advisor: Of course. One of two ways. If the charity is the policy owner and beneficiary, you’ll get a donation tax receipt for your premium payments from the registered charity.

Description: Screen transitions to 2 illustrations. To the left is an illustration of a hand holding a heart with text “Policyowner and beneficiary” below it. To the right is an illustration of a document and per cent sign with the text “Tax credit for premium payments” below it.
