Bequest in a will or living trust - To provide for Teachers College through your will, living trust or charitable remainder trust, you will need Teachers College's tax identification number, legal name and mailing address. Please call David Stiles at (212) 678-3037 to obtain this information. Charitable gift annuity - When you make a gift of stock or cash to fund a Teachers College Gift Annuity, you receive a tax deduction that can be spread over 5 years after the year of the gift and payments for life of up to 11.3% based on your age. Life Insurance Policy - You may name Teachers College as beneficiary of a policy you no longer need, or you may create a new policy. Retirement accounts or U.S. savings bonds - By naming Teachers College as the beneficiary of your IRA or savings bonds, income taxes are avoided and the value of the gift qualifies as an estate tax deduction. Charitable remainder trusts - Charitable remainder trusts provide a means to receive an immediate income tax deduction, income for life, and a meaningful gift to charity at death or at the end of the term of the trust. A Timeline of Growth and Change: Arthur E. Levine's Presidency at Teachers College Teachers College has evolved in many ways under Arthur Levines leadership. The changes fall into three phases: rebuilding the broad foundation of the College; expanding for impact; and focusing on what the College believes to be the single largest problem in education today: the growing gap in opportunities and outcomes between the nations most advantaged and disadvantaged students. Published: 9/14/2005 Arthur Levine Announces This Will Be His Final Year as Teachers College President Education school leader has tripled endowment, strengthened academic departments, and focused on educational equity during 12 year run. Published: 9/14/2005 Arthur Levine: Letter to the TC Community I am writing to tell you that I plan to step down as President of Teachers College on July 1, 2006. Please know there are no scandals brewing and the colleges health and mine are just fine, though I could stand to lose about 25 pounds.

Speaking on the eve of the new school year, the two--who were joined by a panel of other speakers--aimed their message at both the New York City Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers, who are in the midst of negotiating a new contract for the citys teachers.

Fill the hole with cotton, tightly packed. Put the base in warm water as soon as possible. Warm water will melt the sap and allow the tree to drink more easily. It's been recommended to add one of these to the water as a preservative: a few tablespoons of glycerin, or a few tablespoons of sugar, a few crushed aspirins, or use one of the pre made"tree preserve" mixtures.

Without obligation, let GiftCalcs help you do your own calculations. Charitable Gift Annuities Among this nation's oldest and most popular planned gifts, charitable gift annuities offer a wonderful opportunity to provide for a generous future gift to Amherst. In a slowing economy with lowering interest rates, this option may be an excellent way to balance your portfolio. A charitable gift annuity represents a contract between a donor and the College by which the College agrees to pay the donor and/or other named beneficiaries a fixed income each year for the lifetime of those named in the contract (the annuitant ( s )). This payment is secured by the full assets of Amherst College and will not change regardless of fluctuations in the stock market or the economy in general. Minimum Gift Amount Income Based on Age of Annuitant Tax Advantages of Gift Annuities Special Consideration with Gifts of Appreciated Property Minimum Gift Amount The minimum gift to create an Amherst College Gift Annuity is $10,000. Contributions can be in the form of cash, appreciated securities or mutual fund shares, or other property acceptable to the College. All gifts of appreciated property should be held long term by the donor (at least a year and a day). Because each gift annuity is a separate contract, additional annuities must also be for $10,000 or more. Income Based on Age of Annuitant The amount of income Amherst will pay depends on the age of the annuitant at the time the contract is issued. The older the annuitant, the greater the amount of income. A single annuitant, age 65, will receive an annuity rate of 5.7%; an 80-year-old annuitant will receive an 7.6% annuity rate. The highest annuity rate the College offers is 9.5%. Annuities based on two lives (most commonly a husband and wife) are also available, but the rates are generally lower. Any person named as an annuitant must be 60 years of age or older. (Additional information is available on the Amherst College Gift Annuity rate table .) Tax Advantages of Gift Annuities A charitable gift annuity is actually part gift and part purchase of a lifetime annuity contract from the College. The portion that represents a gift to the College is deductible on your federal income tax return if you itemize your deductions. The size of the deduction is determined by the age of the annuitant, the amount of the gift, and a monthly interest rate factor provided by the IRS. (Here are some sample deductions .) Gift annuities also offer the opportunity to receive income on a tax-favored basis. When the annuity is funded with cash, a significant portion of the income is treated as tax-free return of principal over the annuitant's life expectancy. When appreciated securities or other assets are used to fund the annuity, the income will be taxed as tax-free income, capital gain income and ordinary income, once again generally over the life expectancy of the annuitant. Special Consideration with Gifts of Appreciated Property Gift annuities are treated differently from other life income gifts for capital gains tax purposes. At the time the contract is issued, that portion of the capital gain attributable to the annuity is taxable to the donor. If the donor is the income beneficiary of the annuity, the capital gain is spread out over the donor's life expectancy, and taxed at the 15% capital gains tax rate.
