40 Gemof theHills Capital Campaign The Gift of a by Earl Warren Director of Institutional Lifetime Development

t is no secret that Jacksonville State University depends upon its alumni for support. Many of our alumni are not familiar with the appropriations process at our state capital in Montgomery, Alabama, regarding funding at state colleges Iand universities. Less than half of our university budget comes from state funding. As one former trustee stated, “Jacksonville State and many universities in Alabama have gone from state supported to state assisted”. Therefore, it is imperative that we have strong support from alumni, and friends both public and private for Jacksonville Sate University to maintain cutting edge programs with the quality you have come to expect. For JSU to remain a first–rate institution, we must have support from our constituents.

The Department of Institutional Development plans and implements support for the Annual Fund and other special solicita- tions based on the identified and projected needs which support the objectives of the University.

As many of you know, the University is involved in a historic The Power of 125…Join The Celebration! Capital Campaign that began in 2004 and will conclude in 2008. This campaign offers unprecedented opportunities that will extend far into the future. The goal is $25,000,000, and we are currently at 70 percent of reaching that goal with just under two years remaining.

The 13 projects of the Capital Campaign are vital to our campus and will continue to transform Jacksonville State University as a public teaching institution that provides educational, cultural, and social experiences for a diverse undergraduate and graduate student population.

Next year, 2008, will mark for Jacksonville State University 125 years of greatness. While we have many activities taking place between now and then to lead up to this great celebration, its only fitting that we start preparing for another 125 years of excellence. How will we do this? First and foremost, we must join together and commit ourselves to progress, to greatness, and to investing in our students and our future. Second, we must continue to involve our alumni both with inkind support and financial support. This will provide leverage when we solicit corporations and foundations who will sometimes ask what the alumni participation rate is when it comes to giving back to the university.

In most cases, if you have ever given to JSU then most likely, you have given to the Annual Fund Campaign. Our phonathon serves as a driving force, and many of the gifts made to JSU through our Annual Fund come through students speaking with alumni during our phonathon. Funds received through our Annual Fund are used where the need is greatest unless the donor earmarks it for a specific cause, i.e., College of Education, Athletics, College of Commerce and Business, just to name a few. The Power of 125…Capital Campaign is a comprehensive fund-raising effort designed to support all five colleges of Jacksonville State University as each continues to strive for excellence in its particular field.

Although both campaigns are important and critical to the success of Jacksonville State University, usually Annual Fund gifts are gifts of cash, but could be securities, pledges, etc. The Power of 125… Capital Campaign donations are most often major gifts or special gifts made over a period of time consisting of pledges, short term trusts, life insurance gifts, Charitable Remainder Trusts, and real estate, just to name a few.

Spring 2007 41 Ten Good Reasons to Support the Annual Fund The Jacksonville State University Annual Fund is more critical than ever to the continued success and excellence our alumni and constituents have come to expect. To remain competitive with other institutions of higher education, we need your sup- port. Here are ten additional reasons why it is important:

1. Tuition covers less than 40 percent of the actual cost 6. The participation rankings noted above also serve of educating a Jacksonville State University student. to increase the value of a degree from Jacksonville The resources the annual fund provides each year are State University, thus enhancing the degrees of all one of the few sources of income bridging the gap JSU graduates, past, present, and future. between what tuition provides and the total operat- ing budget.

Alumni giving rates serve as the barometer by the lives of thousands. which corporations and foundations rate alumni in- volvement. The results are a major consideration for these groups when deciding to make large contribu- tions to colleges and universities.

5. College guidebooks such as U.S. News & World Report, Barrons and Fiske use alumni donation participation rates as the sole criterion to rate alumni satisfaction when completing overall institutional quality ratings. To move up (or maintain status) in the rankings and increase our alumni participation rate will attract quality students.

These are all good, but I can’t imagine where I would be if I had not attended and graduated from Jacksonville State University, a large reason in and of itself. The degree I received transformed my life and provided secure financial ground on which to build my family. This is not only a reflection of my life, but thousands of our alumni, who can attest that JSU provided a sound educational foundation for their current successes. It is my hope you will consider a charitable contribution to JSU in 2007 so this tradition of excellence may continue. -Earl Warren

Donor Appreciation Day Festivities

On November 11, 2006 the Institutional Development Office hosted a reception in honor of Donor Appreciation Day with more than 30 capital campaign donors back on campus. The Power of 125…Join the Celebration! campaign has reached over 70% of its $25 million goal, and the university wanted to show gratitude to those who have been such a big part of that success. Donors gathered at the alumni house for a reception with fellowship, food and refreshments before the football game against Samford. University President, Dr. William A. Meehan and Head Football Coach, Jack Crowe addressed the crowd of donors to talk about the campaign and the impressive impact it has had on the university in both academics and athletics. Following the reception, the donors enjoyed watching a great football game where the Gamecocks defeated the Samford Bulldogs 55-7 and a halftime show with over 1,000 alumni marching the field in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Marching Southerners. Jay Whorton, Class of 1952 was a donor at the reception and he reflected on the day’s festivities,

“The day was superb. In fact, each time I visit the campus, I am amazed at the progress that has occurred.

Catherine and Bill Peacock on their farm in Rockmart, GA.

f you can read this, thank a teacher. If you grew up in the state of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, Wyoming, or Arizona that teacher could have been Bill or Catherine IPeacock. For more than 30 years, Mr. and Mrs. Peacock lived in numerous states around the country and held many teaching roles. Students across the country were touched by their love of education.

Mrs. Peacock grew up on a farm in Riverside, Ala., and earned her teaching certificate from Judson College in Marion, Ala. She taught for six years in Pell City before deciding to enroll at JSU to earn her bachelor’s degree in teaching. Her late husband, Bill Peacock, grew up in Rockmart, Ga., and played football for the University of Alabama before coming to JSU. Meeting in the College of Education at JSU in 1950, they both went on to earn a master’s degree in education from Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn.

In 1986, they retired from teaching and settled on Bill’s family farm in Dr. Cynthia Harper, Dean of College of Education and Rockmart, Ga. Their oldest son lives in Wyoming with his family and Mrs. Mrs. Peacock Peacock’s two grandsons. Her other two children live in Rockmart, and she stays very close to them. Mrs. Peacock recently made a wonderful contribution of $300,000 to endow the Bill and Catherine Peacock Scholarship for students in the College of Education and Professional Studies who plan to enter the field of teaching.

Mrs. Peacock is thrilled to have the opportunity to create the scholarship in honor of her and Bill’s time at JSU. “We had such a great life being able to teach and feel that we earned a great education at JSU,” says Mrs. Peacock. “I wanted to be able to provide the same opportunities for students today to earn their degree in education from such a great institution.”

Mrs. Peacock takes higher education opportunities very seriously. She is a former Jacksonville State University teacher education graduate with 37 years teaching experience in the public school systems in numerous states. Mrs. Peacock’s generous $300,000 scholarship contribution is substantial, and will certainly go a long way to benefit the selected applicants as they matriculate through the program. Our college considers Mrs. Peacock to be a true Gem of the Hills! University President, Dr. William A. Meehan and Mrs. Peacock - Cynthia Harper, dean College of Education and Professional Studies

Explore the Benefits of Giving Real Estate

Gifts of cash and securities are not the only options available to those who want to support the Jacksonville State University Foundation. An outright gift of real estate is often especially beneficial to some donors. Such a gift may benefit both the donor and as the Jacksonville State University Foundation. By making an outright gift of real property, donors avoid capital gains tax and receive an income tax charitable deduction of the property’s full fair market value (if the property is held long term, is not subject to a mortgage, and has not been subject to accelerated depreciation). Examples of real estate gifts include personal residence, farm, vacation home, condominium, commercial building or acreage, etc. Donors may reserve the right to either live in the donated residence or to continue to farm the property during their lifetime and, if desired, the lifetime of a surviving spouse. Through such an arrangement, called a chari- table life estate contract, the donor will be entitled to a current income tax deduction for a portion of the fair market value of the property. When thinking about making a gift to the Jacksonville State University Foundation, evaluate the possibility of real estate. Mrs. Melanie Delap, director of institutional development, can work with donors’ attorneys or tax advisors in exploring the benefits of this unique giving opportunity. Please call (256) 782-5306 or (800) 231-5291 extension 5306. The e-mail address is [email protected]. 2006 Honor Roll of Contributors

SENIORS CAN MAKE DONATIONS DIRECTLY OUT OF IRA’S PENSION PROTECTION ACT OF 2006

If you are age 70 1/2 or older, you can now arrange to contribute otherwise taxable amounts pulled out of a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA directly to tax-exempt charities. These “qualified charitable distributions” are federal- income-tax free to you. Since tax-free treatment equates to a 100% write-off, you do not get to claim any itemized de- duction for a qualified charitable distribution (that would be double counting.)A qualified charitable distribution means a payment by your IRA trustee directly to a qualified public charity (certain donor funds are excluded.) The money cannot pass through your hands. The new rule applies for 2006 and 2007, but you cannot donate more than $100,000 in either of those years. The Office of Institutional Development would be glad to help you with this transaction. Please contact our office at 256-782-5605 for assistance. The Power of 125...Join the Celebration!
