Loan Split Dollar - A Renaissance in the Making?
By NAIFA-Texas on 4/22/25 10:43 AM
INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON AT.NAIFA.ORG
Loan split dollar remains one of those advanced market strategies that engenders two distinct reactions among financial professionals. One reaction sees nearly unlimited opportunity in the executive business market, while another relegates this concept to the esoteric and inapplicable. Though the latter reaction may be natural for those still stuck in an early 2000s mindset, today’s financial professionals would be remiss if they didn’t seize this impactful strategy and place it in their executive benefit toolkit.
The particulars of this technique (sometimes called collateral assignment split dollar) are beyond the constraints of this piece, but a synopsis of the “Why” behind loan split dollar will help to explain the rationale and provide a brief review of this executive benefit strategy.

NAIFA Supports Legislation to Ease the Financial Burden on Caregivers
By NAIFA-Texas on 4/14/25 8:50 AM
INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON AT.NAIFA.ORG
Family caregivers provide $600 billion in unpaid care each year, often impacting their own career opportunities or their families’ financial security. To help them cope with this burden, NAIFA strongly supports the bipartisan Credit for Caring Act, which would provide a $5,000 tax credit to offset out-of-pocket costs associated with home caregiving. These may include the cost of home modifications, health aides, adult daycare, medicines, transportation, and other support services.

IFAPAC Madness 2025
By NAIFA-Texas on 3/11/25 10:22 AM
Get Into the Madness!
Much like the NCAA March Madness Brackets, IFAPAC has made its own brackets, dividing NAIFA Nation into four divisions: Generals, Defenders, Advocates, and Ambassadors. Chapters will advance through the brackets based on the total amount raised during each round. Unlike NCAA March Madness, however, the 2025 IFAPAC Madness tournament has been reorganized into a Double-Elimination Tournament to ensure that all Chapters have more opportunities to participate in the campaign. When Chapters face off, winners will move into the next round. Chapters that lose will drop into the Redemption Bracket and face off for the opportunity to move back into the higher bracket in the Championship Round.
IFAPAC Madness began on Saturday, March 1, 2025, and ends Friday, April 11, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET. Championship Rounds will take place April 12, 2025 – April 18, 2025.
