FORESIGHT<br />

A GUIDE TO FINANCIAL & CHARITABLE GIFT PLANNING / SPRING 2011<br />

<strong>Longtime</strong> <strong>Supporters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>Make</strong> <strong>Bequest</strong><br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> Center at Mission Bay<br />

Jackie and Carl Kuhn, DDS ’68,<br />

have connections <strong>to</strong> UC that go<br />

back many years. After meeting<br />

at UC Berkeley as undergraduates<br />

and marrying shortly <strong>the</strong>reafter,<br />

Carl decided <strong>to</strong> pursue a career in<br />

dentistry at <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> School <strong>of</strong><br />

Dentistry, while Jackie <strong>to</strong>ok a position<br />

as a junior accountant at <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

<strong>Medical</strong> Center.<br />

The <strong>Medical</strong> Center <strong>of</strong>fered me a<br />

wonderful career opportunity,” says<br />

Jackie, “while helping put Carl through<br />

dental school.”<br />

Jackie continued at <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

<strong>Medical</strong> Center where she stayed for<br />

30 years, eventually becoming <strong>the</strong><br />

chief financial <strong>of</strong>ficer. Meanwhile, Carl<br />

established a successful orthodontics<br />

practice in <strong>the</strong> East Bay.<br />

“We have both made lifelong friends<br />

at <strong>UCSF</strong>,” says Carl. “I still meet some<br />

<strong>of</strong> my School <strong>of</strong> Dentistry classmates<br />

every six weeks or so for dinner and<br />

Jackie regularly sees many <strong>of</strong> her<br />

friends from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> Center.”<br />

Now retired, <strong>the</strong> couple splits<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir time between <strong>the</strong>ir homes in<br />

San Francisco and Sonoma.<br />

The Kuhns have been longtime<br />

supporters <strong>of</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong>, making frequent<br />

gifts <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Dentistry and<br />

various <strong>Medical</strong> Center programs<br />

including a scholarship fund for children<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> Center employees.<br />

They have also made provisions for<br />

major gifts <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dental School and<br />

<strong>Medical</strong> Center in <strong>the</strong>ir estate.<br />

In recognition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> outstanding<br />

level <strong>of</strong> patient service provided by <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Medical</strong> Center, <strong>the</strong> Kuhns have chosen<br />

<strong>to</strong> make an irrevocable bequest in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

wills in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mission Bay<br />

Hospital Campaign. The new hospital<br />

complex is scheduled for completion in<br />

2014 and will include a room named <strong>the</strong><br />

Jackie and Carl Kuhn, DDS ’68<br />

“Jacqueline and Carl Kuhn Concierge<br />

Services Conference Room.”<br />

“This gift will help fur<strong>the</strong>r our<br />

efforts <strong>to</strong> provide <strong>the</strong> highest quality<br />

patient care and <strong>the</strong> best cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

service <strong>of</strong> any hospital in <strong>the</strong> Bay Area<br />

and beyond,” says Mark Laret, chief<br />

executive <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />

Center and <strong>UCSF</strong> Beni<strong>of</strong>f Children’s<br />

Hospital. “We are tremendously<br />

grateful for Jackie’s and Carl’s ongoing<br />

personal and financial commitment <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> University.”<br />

If you wish <strong>to</strong> make a gift while preserving your<br />

assets during your lifetime, you might consider<br />

one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following planned giving options.<br />

Charitable Gift Annuity<br />

A charitable gift annuity is a way <strong>to</strong><br />

make a gift now and receive back<br />

income. The income from a charitable<br />

gift annuity is based on <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> income beneficiary and does not<br />

fluctuate. This is appealing especially<br />

SAMPLE RATES<br />

(Single life only)<br />

AGE<br />

FIXED<br />

INTEREST<br />

65 5.5%<br />

70 5.8%<br />

75 6.4%<br />

80 7.2%<br />

85 8.1%<br />

<strong>to</strong> older donors<br />

wanting <strong>the</strong><br />

security <strong>of</strong> a<br />

steady stream<br />

<strong>of</strong> income.<br />

Younger donors<br />

sometimes<br />

opt <strong>to</strong> establish<br />

a “deferred”<br />

gift annuity<br />

with income<br />

<strong>to</strong> start at a later<br />

date such as<br />

retirement. The minimum gift required<br />

<strong>to</strong> establish a charitable gift annuity at<br />

<strong>UCSF</strong> is $25,000.<br />

Charitable Remainder Trust<br />

By using a charitable remainder trust<br />

<strong>to</strong> make a gift <strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong>, you can<br />

receive back income for life or a term<br />

<strong>of</strong> years not <strong>to</strong> exceed 20. With this<br />

type <strong>of</strong> planned gift, you irrevocably<br />

transfer cash or o<strong>the</strong>r property<br />

(usually appreciated securities) <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> Foundation in trust, with<br />

instructions <strong>to</strong> pay you or a loved<br />

one an agreed percentage annually.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> receiving a stream <strong>of</strong><br />

income, you also would receive a<br />

charitable income tax deduction based<br />

on <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong>’s remainder<br />

interest in <strong>the</strong> trust, as actuarially<br />

determined. All income payments are<br />

made from trust assets, <strong>the</strong> investment<br />

<strong>of</strong> which is overseen by <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

Foundation. On termination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

trust, any remaining trust assets pass<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>to</strong> be used as specified by<br />

you. The minimum amount needed <strong>to</strong><br />

establish a charitable remainder trust<br />

with <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> Foundation as trustee<br />

is $100,000.<br />

<strong>Bequest</strong><br />

A bequest <strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> can be included<br />

in a will or living trust and can be for<br />

any dollar amount. The usual wording<br />

<strong>of</strong> an unrestricted bequest <strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

is <strong>the</strong> following:<br />

“I give <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> California,<br />

San Francisco Foundation <strong>the</strong><br />

sum <strong>of</strong> $_______ <strong>to</strong> be used as<br />

directed by <strong>the</strong> Chancellor.”<br />

Such gifts can be directed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Medical</strong> Center, a particular School<br />

(Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing or<br />

Pharmacy) or <strong>the</strong> Graduate Division.<br />

<strong>Bequest</strong>s can also be designated for<br />

a specific purpose such as student<br />

scholarships, faculty support, medical<br />

research or patient care. <strong>Bequest</strong>s can<br />

be used on a current basis or <strong>to</strong> fund<br />

permanent endowments, which can<br />

be named for a loved one. If you would<br />

like your bequest used for a particular<br />

purpose, please contact <strong>the</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

Office <strong>of</strong> Gift & Endowment Planning<br />

for recommended wording <strong>to</strong> ensure<br />

that your wishes are carried out.<br />

Retained Life Estate<br />

For more details about any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se gifts, please contact<br />

<strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> Gift & Endowment Planning.<br />

Tel: 415/476-1475 Email: giftplanning@support.ucsf.edu<br />

You can deed your primary residence<br />

or vacation home <strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> and retain<br />

<strong>the</strong> right <strong>to</strong> live in or use it for <strong>the</strong> rest<br />

<strong>of</strong> your life. This is known as a retained<br />

life estate. Such a gift frequently<br />

entitles a donor <strong>to</strong> a sizeable<br />

charitable income tax deduction. On<br />

termination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> life estate, <strong>UCSF</strong><br />

typically sells <strong>the</strong> property and uses<br />

<strong>the</strong> proceeds as directed by <strong>the</strong> donor.<br />

Charitable IRA Rollover –<br />

Tax Free up <strong>to</strong> $100,000<br />

Late in 2010 Congress reauthorized<br />

a tax provision which, until <strong>the</strong> end<br />

<strong>of</strong> 2011, allows donors age 70 1 ⁄2<br />

and older <strong>to</strong> transfer up <strong>to</strong> $100,000<br />

from an IRA account <strong>to</strong> fund a<br />

gift without having <strong>to</strong> include <strong>the</strong><br />

transferred amount in <strong>the</strong>ir taxable<br />

income. Because such transfers are<br />

not included in <strong>the</strong> donor’s taxable<br />

income, <strong>the</strong> donor is not entitled <strong>to</strong> a<br />

charitable income tax deduction. To<br />

be eligible, transfers must be made<br />

no later than December 31, 2011 and<br />

must be made directly <strong>to</strong> <strong>UCSF</strong> from<br />

<strong>the</strong> IRA cus<strong>to</strong>dian.<br />
