Gifts of Insurance
A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to Cleveland State University. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy to Cleveland State University. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
