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.

Advisor: Your donation is the life insurance policy.

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

Bill: Would I still get a tax credit?
