AN EASY WAY TO GIVE Making a charitable bequest from an IRA is an easy and remarkably effective way to give, says John Lillie, ’59, MS ’64, MBA ’64. “I think that an estate plan that includes charitable giving should first look at any tax- deferred accounts available,” he says, pointing out that funds left to heirs from a tax-deferred retirement plan can be taxed at very high rates, since they are subject to both estate and income taxes. Up to 65 percent of the plan could go to the government in the form of taxes if an IRA or other tax-deferred plan is passed down to an heir, while there is no tax on these types of funds when left to the university. In addition, making Stanford a retirement plan ben- eficiary is a simple process—as easy as filling out a new Lauren Dunbar Keough, ’65 beneficiary form. “It’s done quickly and with flexibility,” Central to Lauren’s own legacy was her decision to says John, a retired business manager. “It’s a particularly make an estate gift to Stanford. easy way to do estate planning that many people aren’t When Lauren’s parents passed away, leaving her a aware of.” share of their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), she learned from a Stanford planned giving officer about the benefits of using a portion of her inheritance to make a tax-free bequest. “At the time,” Lauren says, “I had little confidence that I would be able to make a bequest from my personal investments and savings, so this provided the perfect opportunity to invest in Stanford’s future.” Her bequest will support the Bing Overseas Studies Program “with the hope that even more Stanford under- graduates will be able to expand their hearts and minds as I did by studying abroad,” she says. “This gift is a perfect legacy—one that treasures my parents’ love for me and their support for my Stanford education,” Lauren says. She also is honoring other fam- ily ties to the university: Her older sister, Carol Dunbar Tether, graduated from Stanford in 1961 in mathematics; and her younger brother, Robert B.

After all, today’s educational choices “will influence develop- ments in the world for the next 40 to 50 years,” he adds, and he and Daryl hope their gifts will make a difference. The Lillies’ IRA gift also is a testimony to John’s long- term commitment to Stanford, which included service as a trustee from 1988 to 1998. Friends’ experiences at Stanford initially led John to the university after graduat- ing from South Pasadena-San Marino High School.

  • Stanford University: a World-Class Legacy
    California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy Author’s Note: This article “California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy” is also a chapter in my travel guidebook/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. By Lee Foster On October 1, 1891, Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, officially opened Leland Stanford Junior University. The school became one of the premier institutions of higher education and loveliest campuses in the West. For today’s traveler, headed for the San Francisco region in Northern California, Stanford University is a cultural enrichment to consider including in a trip. The University owes its existence to a tragic death while the Stanford family was on a European Trip in Florence, Italy. After typhoid fever took their only child, a 15- year-old son, the Stanfords decided to turn their 8,200-acre stock farm into the Leland Stanford Junior University. They expressed their desire with the phrase that “the children of California may be our children.” Years later the cerebral establishment is still called by some “The Farm.” Leland Stanford had used the grounds to raise prize trotter racehorses, orchard crops, and wine grapes. The early faculty built homes in Palo Alto, one neighborhood of which became “Professorville.” In a full day of exploration you can visit the campus, adjacent Palo Alto, and the nearby Palo Alto Baylands marshes of San Francisco Bay, a delight to the naturalist.
