The simplest way is to designate Skidmore College or another charitable interest as the primary beneficiary of the policy. This is something a donor might consider if the original purpose of the policy is no longer relevant. An example would be a policy that was purchased years ago to provide added security for children's education expenses in the event of the policyholder's untimely death. The donor retains ownership of the policy, retains the right to change beneficiaries again if desired, and has access to its cash value if needed. Another method is to make Skidmore both owner and beneficiary of the policy. Unlike the previous method, this would be an irrevocable arrangement, and as such would qualify the donor for immediate tax savings. The donor can make this arrangement whether a policy is fully paid up or whether there are still premium payments being made. Finally, life insurance can be used in connection with other planned gift vehicles such as a charitable remainder trust to replace assets for heirs. For example, if a donor makes a gift through a charitable remainder trust, he or she is likely to realize significant tax deductions. Those savings can offset the cost of purchasing and paying premiums on a policy to "replace the wealth" for an heir or heirs. To learn more call or email the Office of Gift Planning.

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 .

Christmas Gift
Gift Alternatives Gift Alternatives Jesus would approve. We often buy gifts for people who are not in any real need of material things. Our love for that person though, needs to be expressed in some way. We can write a poem, draw a picture, or give a simple gift we've made. Here are some creative ideas that can help bring about the justice and peace Jesus lived and died for ... We might ask ourselves thequestion, "What would Jesus do?" What ways would Jesus encourage us tocelebrate his birthday? He gave everything he had to those in need. He livedand died for the poor and the powerless. He called his disciples to express theirgratitude for what they'd received by sharing what they had wtih others. So I've supplieda variety of links consistent with the kind of life Jesus lived. We can make adonation in the name of a person we'd ordinarily buy a gift for. In most cases, thegroup will even send a gift card. Many of us receive money for Christmas andBirthdays as well. We might see fit to use some of the money we receive forChristmas to make a donation. Here are a few links ... The Heifer Project Give the gift of a heifer, water buffalo, llama, goat,sheep, pig, trees, rabbits, bees, chicks, ducks or geese. Your donation will givesuch a gift to a needy family. A cow will provide milk for the need of the family,and the extra milk can be sold to help with education expenses, etc. Each familythat receives such a gift also promises the first born offspring to another needy familyin their area. That family promises the same, so the gift goes on giving! Fora larger gift, an "Ark," thirty families will be helped. For a smallergift, you could join with others to make your gift of an animal or some trees! TheHeifer Project will send a free gift card in your name as well! Bread for the World Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian movement that seeks justice for theworlds hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision-makers. Stop at their WebSite for more information. Why not give the gift of a membership? Student,Individual, Family and a variety of other memberships are available. Birthright Birthright provides caring, non-judgmental supportto girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy. Using our own resourcesand those of the community, Birthright provides positive and loving alternatives toabortion. Birthright provides many services, including friendship and emotional support,free pregnancy tests, legal, medical, and financial assistance, assistance with housing,referral to social agencies, and maternity and baby clothes. Birthright treats each womanas an individual who deserves kindness and respect, as well as personal attention to herunique situation. And all Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, andavailable to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, economic or marital status. You may wish to donate to Birthright International, or to a center near you. TheWeb Site above will help you find the center nearest you. Don't you think a donation would be a Christmasgift Jesus would approve of Catholic Relief Services Why not help the victims of Hurricane Mitch. In over 80 countries throughout Africa,Asia, Europe and Latin America, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) serves the poor byproviding emergency and long-term assistance based on need, not creed, race ornationality. CRS has earned its strong reputation for monitoring the human conditionand working with the poor to identify and implement solutions that work. CRS staff bringsknowledge and expertise from a variety of development experiences to their work. And CRSworks to strict standards of efficiency and accountability, with over 90% of support goingdirectly to programs in the field. Where there is hardship in the world, CatholicRelief Services is there. You can make a donation to help the victims of aparticular disaster as well. AmnestyInternational The Universal Declaration of HumanRights recognizes the inherant dignity and equal unalienable rights of all members of thehuman family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace throughout the world. Amnesty Internatioal stands up for human rights all over the world. It speaksout for prisoners as well, making an issue of false imprisonment and unjust treatment. It's the only voice for so many who are powerless. Amnesty Internationalkeeps us aware of human rights issues all over the world, and helps us to see how we canhelp to make things better. Become a member or give a membership. And sign theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights at the Amnesty International Web Site! Food Pantries andLocal Charities There are many other wonderfulcharities as well. Perhaps you could contribute to an effort sponsored by your ownChurch, or the food pantry, home for unwed mothers or other worthy cause in your ownarea. It's always good to ask, "What would Jesus do?" He'dhelp. We can, too! This appears on the Web Site of Father Pat's Place . You are visitor since 29 November 1998
