This is an opportunity for donors to leverage their gifts for better return and greater good. The DMI concept enables donors or their financial advisors to manage the investment of their contributions after the gift is made to Skidmore, while receiving the immediate income tax charitable deduction. Unlike a "donor-advised fund," the DMI does not limit investment choices to a relative few alternatives. Rather, the DMI program allows donors to follow their own preferred investment strategies, including equities, fixed income, mutual funds, and possibly alternative investments. In consultation with Skidmore, a donor would gift funds into a DMI account, under the ownership of Skidmore College. A mutually signed program agreement authorizes the donor to direct the investment management of the funds for an agreed-upon period of time. At the conclusion of that period, the proceeds are applied to the use defined by the donor in the agreement. There is no fee associated with a DMI account. Rather, Skidmore pays a licensing and service fee to the DMI administrator, Winklevoss Consultants. Mark J. Rakov, Skidmore Class of 1979, is senior managing director for Winklevoss Consultants and was instrumental in getting the DMI program up and running for the college. To learn more about this and other charitable arrangements available at Skidmore, please call Don Blunk, director of Gift Planning (518) 580-5655, or send an email to giftplanning@skidmore.edu .

Philanthropy • Legacy • Security The Office of Gift Planning urges donors to consult their legal and other professional advisors when considering charitable gift giving. Our staff is always pleased to work directly with donors and their advisors during the process. Creative Thought Matters.
