Case Scenario #1: Strategic Legacy Planning with Life Insurance
Scenario Overview: John and Mary Thompson are long-time members of their local community church. Moved by their commitment to their faith and community, the Thompsons decide to contribute in a meaningful way that extends beyond their lifetime.
Strategy Implementation: John decides to take out a $100,000 life insurance policy, naming the church as the sole beneficiary. This policy is separate from the personal policies he has already established for his wife and children, focusing exclusively on providing for the church.
Financial Commitment: John’s investment in the policy is $125 per month and never increases. This affordable premium ensures that the church will receive $100,000 upon his passing—regardless of whether it occurs shortly after the policy takes effect or many years later. This arrangement provides substantial financial security to the church's future and insures his tithes are covered when he goes to heaven.
Benefits to the Church: Beyond the death benefit, the policy is structured to allow the church access to its cash values if needed before John's passing.
Conclusion: John and Mary Thompson's decision to utilize life insurance as a tool for charitable giving effectively demonstrates how tailored financial products can meet specific philanthropic goals. This approach not only benefits their beloved church but also sets a powerful example of stewardship and long-term planning within their community.

Case Scenario #2: Ensuring Long-term Support for a Mission Orphanage with a Fixed Indexed Annuity
Scenario Overview: Robert and Lisa Garcia, a retired couple deeply moved by their volunteer experiences at a mission orphanage in the Philippines, decide to establish a lasting financial support system for the orphanage. They aim to provide a continuous flow of funds that would help sustain the orphanage’s operations long after they are gone.
Strategy Implementation: The Garcia's choose to invest in a Fixed Indexed Annuity with a joint survivor lifetime income option. This financial product offers them the benefit of receiving steady income during their lifetimes, after which the remaining funds will go to the orphanage.
Financial Arrangement: They purchase the annuity with an initial lump sum of $200,000, accumulated from their savings and retirement funds. This annuity is linked to a stock market index, allowing their investment to grow based on market performance, yet it protects their principal from market downturns. The Garcia's choose a joint survivor option to ensure that both have access to the income for as long as either of them lives.
Lifetime Income and Orphanage Benefits: The annuity is structured to provide Robert and Lisa with a monthly income, offering financial stability throughout their retirement. Upon the passing of both Robert and Lisa, the remainder of the annuity’s value is designated to the mission orphanage as their beneficiary. This setup ensures that the orphanage will receive a substantial financial contribution that can significantly impact its ability to care for the children.
Philanthropic Impact: The Fixed Indexed Annuity allows the Garcias to see their funds grow with the market, ensuring they do not outlive their resources while also planning a significant charitable gift. Their thoughtful planning reflects a commitment to supporting vulnerable children, providing them with a chance for a better future through continuous financial support to the orphanage.
Conclusion: This case scenario highlights how a Fixed Indexed Annuity with joint survivor lifetime income can serve dual purposes—providing retirees with a reliable income source and fulfilling their philanthropic goals. For the Garcias, this approach not only secures their financial future but also cements their legacy of support for the mission orphanage in the Philippines.
