First, you and the charity initiate the underwriting process with an approved insurer and agent. Second, you initiate a tax-free rollover to an approved self-directed IRA custodian .Third, you direct your IRA custodian to transfer the funds to charity and charity signs a promissory note in favor of your IRA. Fourth, the charity purchases the insurance policy and assigns that portion of the death benefit equal to the outstanding loan to your IRA. Fifth, annual interest payments are made by the charity to your IRA. Sixth, upon your death, the insurance company repays your IRA for the outstanding loan balance and charity receives any excess.
