Your Legacy…Impacting Future GenerationsFour generations in the family of Bob(BU ’58) and Martha Owsley (BU ’51) of Cecilia,Ky., have called WKU home. Thus,when the time came to plan their estate, theychose to fund the Bob and Martha OwsleyScholarship and the Owsley Visiting Professorshipin Business Leadership and Ethicsthrough a charitable remainder trust (CRT).A CRT allows a donor to make a giftwith a nice charitable deduction and receiveincome from that gift for a period ofyears, which can even be for the remainderof the beneficiary’s life.The income can be received by thedonor(s) or anyone the donor selects as abeneficiary, such as a spouse or other designatedindividual. The remainder then goesto WKU for the purpose stated by the donor.“This institution continues to mean so much to our familyand for the gift (trust) to provide annual income forthe rest of our lives is a great combination,” Bob said.“In addition to helping WKU’s Gordon Ford College ofBusiness and future students from Hardin County, wefelt it made good sense for our needs. We are pleasedto include WKU in our philanthropy.”— Bob (BU ’58) and Martha Owsley (BU ’51)Recognition society for those whoinclude WKU in their gift planningTo learn more about charitable remainder trusts or other ways to supportyour favorite WKU program, contact Diana Kinslow, Alex Downing orJohn Paul Blair in our planned giving office at 888-958-2586 (WKU-ALUM).
