Donors may make gifts of life insurance by assigning SPARC as owner and beneficiary of the policy.

The estate gifts of many SPARC supporters over the years will enabled us to accomplish many of our long-range goals. In connection with The SPARC Fund, we encourage alumni, parents and friends to consider their opportunity to provide significant support through their wills for future generations of SPARC students. When SPARC is given notification and a copy of the will, codicil, trust agreement, or life insurance policy, the value of the provision will be applied to our annual goal.
