Gift of Life Insurance

You can name Save the Children as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy by submitting an updated beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate us as a primary beneficiary for any percentage up to 100%.

You can also make Save the Children a contingent beneficiary, which means that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary does not survive you.
