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.

Housewarming Gift A housewarming

How to Select a Housewarming Gift - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Personal Care & Style Center Etiquette How to Select a Housewarming Gift A housewarming party is traditional when someone moves into a new home. Guests generally bring a thoughtful gift to the new homeowners and get a chance to eat, drink and informally tour the new house. Steps: 1. Consider the circumstances of the new homeowners. If they are well established, they probably don't need basics like small kitchen appliances or towels. If they are just starting out, however, these might be appreciated. 2. Bring a gift basket filled with gourmet foods, wine and/or useful items for the house or garden. 3. Consider outdoor needs. A new address plaque, a planter, a personalized doormat or a charming garden bench can all be welcome gifts. For use inside the home, bring a houseplant or indoor herb garden. 4. Give a local travel guide or a subscription to a local magazine or newspaper if the newcomers are from out of the city or state. It's a great way to get them acquainted with the new neighborhood. Maps are also a good idea. 5. Consider a book on interior design, landscaping or architectural styles. A cookbook can also be a great gift. 6. Give a gift certificate for a meal at a local restaurant, or tickets for a local sporting event or concert. A gift certificate for the local home improvement store will also be appreciated. 7. Make sure anything you buy can be exchanged or returned by the homeowners if they decide not to keep it. Tips: Don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money. A basket of homemade cookies or a bottle of wine both make a great gift. Sometimes an offer of help is much appreciated. Give a coupon for a meal to be brought in, help in the yard or a couple of hours of free babysitting. Warnings: If you don't know the new homeowners well, avoid choosing art, interior accents or things such as towels that may not fit in with the decor. Tips from eHow Users: Gift tip by eHow Friend I have found that if the homeowners have children - no matter what the age - it's always nice to remember the children (if you're bringing a gift). It doesn't need to be very much, perhaps stickers, or a plaque or picture for their new room. Rate this tip: Registered or not Find out if they are registered for their housewarming. I have seen more and more people registering at home specialty stores. That way you can get something that they really want, or at least get an idea of the color scheme they are working with.

A simple one-page contract between the donor and a qualified organization such as Skidmore completes the arrangement. Typically, a CGA is funded with cash or securities. In exchange, Skidmore guarantees a specified annuity payment for the lifetime of one or two recipients. An annuity may be funded with a minimum gift of $5,000. Favorable income tax and capital gains tax treatment is also possible. Annuity rates of return depend on the age(s) of the beneficiary(ies) and whether the annuity payments will be immediate or deferred. In a deferred arrangement, annuity payments are delayed until a date (typically a 65th birthday) selected by the donor. It's a great way for younger donors to make a gift now, receive immediate tax benefits, and set up a future source of retirement income at much higher return rates.
