+<h1 class="contentheader">Charitable Gift Annuities - A Time to Revisit</h1>
+<div class="content_area">
+<p>"If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain.<br>
+ If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees.<br>
+ If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow people."<br>
+-- <i>Chinese Proverb</i></p>
+
+<p>Like many Americans you may have read recently the cautionary article that described in detail the potential charitable gift annuities have for being yet another scam ready to victimize our elderly. At the same time we can turn on the radio just about any day to learn from Angela Lansbury and other celebrities that charitable gift annuities are a wonderful opportunity not to be passed over.</p>
+
+<p>So where does the real truth lie? Bottom line, charitable gift annuities continue to provide a good option for those who seek to guarantee income for themselves while also supporting the charities in which they believe.</p>
+
+<p>And what about the potential for abuse by unscrupulous organizations? The article rightfully raised concerns about those organizations that promise payments without the resources to support their "guarantee". It highlighted the need to insure that the charity is legitimate, is truly philanthropic in its mission, and has every intention of fulfilling its promise. For residents of New Hampshire these considerations are made a little easier; New Hampshire has chosen to protect its citizens by closely regulating charities offering annuities.</p>
+
+<p>Charitable gift annuities have long been a part of America's philanthropic landscape. In essence they are simple contracts whereby an organization, in exchange for a gift such as stock, cash, or real property will promise to make income payments for the lifetime of the beneficiaries designated by the donor (up to a maximum of two). Most often the income beneficiary is also the donor and/or a spouse; however, annuities can be used to provide for others such as parents, siblings, or even children.</p>
+
+<p>How much might the donor reasonably expect to receive as payment? As a general rule most organizations follow the rates prescribed by the American Council on Gift Annuities. Payout rates are a function of the number and ages of the beneficiaries. For example, (note: <b>THESE RATES ARE EXAMPLES ONLY, PLEASE CHECK CURRENT RATES</b>).</p>
+<ul>
+ <dt>Age 65 6.0%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 75 7.1%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 85 9.5%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 90+ 11.3%</dt>
+</ul>
+And, for two lives
+<ul>
+ <dt>Age 65 5.6%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 75 6.3%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 85 7.9%</dt>
+ <dt>Age 90+ 9.3%</dt>
+</ul>
+<p>Depending upon the nature of the assets used to fund the annuity a portion of the income may escape taxation, increasing the effective yield. A gift of cash maximizes the amount of tax-free income.</p>
+
+<p>For those individuals who hold highly-appreciated assets the charitable gift annuity offers additional benefits. Companies that have seen strong growth over time often have stock that provides investors a lower yield. If stockholders were to sell the stock in order to seek assets with a higher yield they would have to first pay a 20% capital gains tax on all of the growth their stock had seen since they acquired it. Not an especially attractive option. However, if these stockholders were to donate the appreciated stock to the charity of their choice in exchange for a gift annuity they would be able to avoid all capital gain tax and the entire value would be available to them for funding the annuity.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, a charitable gift annuity offers two additional benefits: a federal charitable deduction for a portion of the value of the gift and the knowledge that the donor has supported the mission of an organizations whose work deserves recognition. For the individual who wishes to increase income from less-than-productive assets while also supporting charity there are few options as favorable in this economy as the charitable gift annuity.</p>
+
+<p>If you have given thought to a charitable gift annuity, or would like to explore the benefits in confidence, please contact: Jen Stewart at <a href="mailto:jstewart at nbp.org">jstewart at nbp.org</a>.<br>
+Do your givin' while you're livin'... then you'll be knowin' where it's goin'.<br>

+<h1 class="contentheader">Remembering a Charity in your Will</h1>
+<div class="content_area">
+<p><b>What is the use of living if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?<br>
+ <i>-- Winston Churchill</i></b></p>
+
+<p>Winston Churchill, known for his eloquence, said these words more than half a century ago, yet his wisdom feels even more profound today.</p>
+
+<p>NBP is headquartered in New England, and in a recent survey New Englanders surprisingly ranked last among all regions of the country when it came to having a will. According to LegalZoom.com, more than 78% admitted having no will.</p>
+
+<p>Are you one of the 78%? Perhaps you have been thinking about how you can make the world a better place for family, for friends, and for those organizations that continue the good work of improving this muddled world. Perhaps you have already experienced how a bequest can change a life. And, perhaps, you have even been considering how a gift made under your will could benefit others by benefiting a charity that embraces the values you have held close throughout your life.</p>
+
+<p>To write a will is to make a profoundly personal statement of what matters most to you. To write a will is to make known publicly that you have thoughtfully, carefully, determined your legacy to those close to you and to those served by the non-profits in whose mission you believe.</p>
+
+<p>When should you write or re-write your will?<br>
+<ul>
+<li>When you marry, divorce or become widowed,</li>
+<li>Upon the birth or death of family members whom you would consider heirs,</li>
+<li>If the value of your assets changes in some significant way,</li>
+<li>If you need to change the executor of your current will,</li>
+<li>When the needs your current will addresses are no longer necessary, e.g., the care of a minor child,</li>
+<li>When you wish to provide for a charity's endowment, capital needs or current operations but prefer to do so in your estate plans,</li>
+<li>If you would like to change your provisions for your heirs to take into account the needs of specific individuals,</li>
+<li>When federal and/or state laws change regarding either taxes or inheritance.</li>
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>As you do so you will want to remember a few key points:<br>
+<ul>
+<li><b>First, and foremost, it is always wise to seek the guidance of qualified counsel</b>. Many sources are available but you will want to use the services of someone well-qualified in the area of estate taxes. In other words, the lawyer who helped you sell your home may not be the best-qualified when it comes to thinking about how your estate will be distributed. Ask friends and associates for referrals, seek names from resources such as your local bank or contact your state or city bar association.</li>
+
+<li><b>For individuals with children, make the naming of a guardian your highest priority</b>. It is somewhat shocking to learn from the survey mentioned above that almost 75% of parents with small children stated that they had no will.</li>
+
+<li><b>Inventory all your assets, noting date and value at acquisition as well as current value</b>. All too often individuals who feel that the value of their assets does not warrant a will are surprised to learn otherwise. Don't forget to list insurance policies in addition to the traditional assets of real property, stocks, bonds and tangible personal property, such as jewelry, artwork or collections. Additionally, you will want to be sure that mementoes or heirlooms are noted and passed on in ways that reflect the love and care that you have shown.
+</li>
+<li><b>Make a list of those family and friends for whom you would wish to make financial provisions</b></li>
+
+<li><b>With the assistance of counsel determine whether the use of trusts or annuities might be a better way to provide for the unique needs of some of your named heirs</b>, such as continued care for adult children with disabilities, educational funds for grandchildren, or supplemental retirement income for siblings.
+</li>
+<li><b>Contact the charities that you want to remember in your will to insure accuracy in name as well as location</b>. Many charities operate under similar names. You will want to be sure that those you care for receive your support. Likewise, be aware that many national organizations have local chapters. A quick telephone call can best inform you as to how you can remember the charities of your choice as you consider your legacy. Chances are, they can provide you and your lawyer with the specific language you will need.
+</li>
+<li><b>Finally, recognize that if you should die without a will the law will decide how your assets will be distributed among your heirs - and to the government</b>. Good planning will preserve your assets for those you love and minimize, through good tax planning, what the government is entitled to receive. While we are all aware that current laws provide a scheduled reduction of estate taxes for the foreseeable future, the year 2011 will see a return to the structure that existed before the most recent tax act. In other words, estate taxes will return.
+</li>

+<h1 class="contentheader">Understanding How Endowment Can Benefit National Braille Press</h1>
+<div class="content_area">
+<p>At National Braille Press (NBP), we believe literacy is a profound joy as well as an invaluable life tool. When we produce books, we create lifelong experiences: reading together as a family, blind child and sighted parent; sharing in the adventures of Harry Potter along with friends at school; cooking dinner from one's own braille cookbook; even learning to surf the Internet or to use an iPod.</p>
+
+<p>But how can we ensure that NBP continues to be vital? In a word, endowment. Endowment generates income to support operations and fulfills critical needs. When the stock market is volatile or charitable giving is lessened because of tough times, endowment income sustains, enabling NBP to maintain the services on which so many have come to rely.</p>
+
+<p>In our 82-year history, NBP has received significant gifts of endowment from both estates and trusts. Since 2002, $1,476,785 has been added to NBP's endowment in support of our mission of lifelong literacy. The impact for NBP and its members has been enormous.</p>
+
+<p>In order to recognize those individuals who remember NBP in their estate plans, the trustees of National Braille Press have created an honorary society - Braille for Life Alliance [bold]. Individuals who make provisions for NBP -by bequest or by naming NBP as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy-is automatically a member. Individuals who have entered into a life income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, are also welcomed as members of the Alliance, as are those who have created an income stream through the use of a charitable lead trust.</p>
+
+<p>Have you considered remembering NBP in your will? Would you like to have a confidential discussion to explore the creative ways to meet the needs of family even as you explore your legacy to our shared mission? If so, please contact Jennifer Stewart at 617-266-6160, ext. 436, or <a href="mailto:jstewart at nbp.org">jstewart at nbp.org</a>. She looks forward to working with you and your financial advisors.</p>

+<div class="content_area">
+<p><img src="/nbp/images/book_photos/BB-MONKEY_SM.jpg" align="right" border="0" alt="Picture of the book cover for That's Not My Monkey."> National Braille Press publishes books for all ages- from toddlers to adult - because the ability to read and write is the most important gateway to opportunity. Literacy opens the door to a whole new universe of understanding, imagination, and knowledge. When you sponsor a book, you help NBP keep that door open for blind people.</p>
+<h2 class="subheader_a">Parity not Charity</h2>
+<p>Braille books are expensive because they are labor intensive, time consuming, and cost 2-3 times more than print books to produce. As a result, owning your own braille books has traditionally been a rarity. National Braille Press believes that blind people should pay for their books but we don't think they should have to pay more than sighted people pay for the same materials. Your donation can help us make up the difference between the production cost and the sale price.</p>
+
+<h2 class="subheader_a">Book Sponsorship Program</h2>
+<p>Sponsoring one of our braille books is a tangible way to see the value of your philanthropy. Your name/logo will be included on the title page of that book and you can even volunteer to assemble the book you have sponsored. To see a list of children's book titles, [page programs/cbbc/titles]click here</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The book sponsorship program is a unique way for National Braille Press to acknowledge exceptional generosity. Book sponsorships start at $5,000 and all gifts are fully tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. To find out more, contact Kimberley Ballard at <a href="mailto:kballard at nbp.org">kballard at nbp.org</a>.</p>

+<i><b>Volunteering at National Braille Press was a mind-opening experience. I had a preconceived idea that braille was an obsolete system. I came away in awe of the possibilities it offers-from kids reading Harry Potter as quickly as anyone, to accessing the Internet in real time. Braille is here to stay.
