Insurance Creates Opportunities for Giving 3.:
This is where financial professionals can help. We have the opportunity to assist our .. ‘ ,
clients in achieving their philanthropic goals through the very product we sell and ~ ‘
service: life insurance. Through cost-effective annual premiums, clients may be able to .
become major donors to their favorite charitable organizations. . '
What about your clients’ need to leave the maximum inheritance to their children and
family through their estates? Again, the life insurance option provides a way to
contribute a tax-deductible premium that has the potential to achieve significant
charitable results—without having an impact on the clients’ need to provide for children and family.
As an agent, l have chosen this option, personally, to support the life-changing work of an organization that I am
very close to: the MDRT Foundation. My support through life insurance will allow me to leave a $250,000 legacy
that will touch the lives of many for years to come. Life insurance provided me with an attractive and tax-efficient
answer to my philanthropic needs. This solution benefits me, my family and the MDRT Foundation.
Benefits to the Giver
Because I am using a life insurance benefit, I will be able to donate $250,000 in a lump sum to the MDRT
Foundation, which was my goal. This is a larger amount than I could have accumulated through periodic
contribution. This strategy doesn’t take into account the time value of money and may not be appropriate in all
cases, but in my situation, I found that my premium payments will total much less than $250,000.
I do not have to deplete my current capital in order to make this donation, which allows my assets to continue to
grow while I am still alive. The life insurance policy will be used to make the donation to my charitable organization,
so I did not have to reduce the amount of my estate that will be passed on to my heirs. And, because I worked
closely with my tax advisor, I was able to structure this in a way that resulted in a tax savings for me.
Benefits to the Charity
My policy, when combined with the donations of others, can provide substantial deferred endowment funds to
help ensure the future of the MDRT Foundation. The funds from my policy will be distributed to the organization
promptly upon my death. Gifts such as mine can help with fiscal planning since the organization can anticipate
and allocate the future death benefit.
A Win-Win Situation
Charitable giving using life insurance can be an important and
advantageous part of your personal estate plan. It should also
be an important part of your practice and service to your

Let me start off by welcoming our new readers of this Kentucky Alumni magazine, alumni who have joined the
UK Alumni Association after receiving the Fall issue. Here’s hoping you make use ofthe benefits and privileges
that membership in the association offers. That goes for all members. Never before has the UK Alumni Associa-

other for their alma mater.
Homecoming 2008 is history and we are already looking forward to Homecoming 2009, scheduled for Oct. 31. You
can bet this family-friendly weekend will be full of activities, making your return to campus worthwhile. One event not
to be missed is the UK Alumni Association Parade Watch Party at King Alumni House. In the past hve years this get-
together has grown from about 20 people attending to maxing out the hre marshal’s capacity limits for the festivities in
2008. Altogether over 2,000 people participated in association-sponsored events throughout Homecoming week.
Class of 1959, you’ll be hearing from us soon about gathering together a committee to plan your 50th graduation an-
niversary. Here’s a little secret, the more classmates that come back to UK that weekend, the bigger and better the
party will be. Right now contact your college classmates about a rendezvous in Lexington in 2009. Encourage your
friends to check with the UK Alumni Association to be sure that their alumni record is complete. You’ll be the center

 2 Presidential Conversation
Improving Life For Kentuckians
  I was happy to learn that Gary Knapp would be featured in this issue of Kentucky
V   Alumni magazine. A horse farm owner and Gatton College of Business and Economics
  alum, his story is one that illustrates the many great things UK alumni do to positively im-
I T"'     pact Kentuclqfs economy I hope you enjoy learning about the details of his career as
·     ,, V ’ much as I did.
n ..9 I often use this space to tell you about the great things we are doing in UK research. But
A" A I have not spent enough time explaining how that research is hitting the ground in Ken-
_ tuclqr and changing the lives of Kentuckians. That is why I wanted to take a moment to
_ talk about a project we launched in Western Kentuclqr aimed at improving infant health.
  I Kentuclqr has some of the nation’s highest rates of poor oral health and negative
, birthing outcomes. Approximately 5,000 premature, low birth weight babies are born in
A   . V Kentuclqr annually and Kentuclqfs rates of preterm babies and low birth weight babies
i * · W have increased by nearly 20 percent over the last 10 years. These babies are likely to experi-
ence higher than average health problems throughout their lifetimes. Their families and the Commonwealth will face signihcant
costs associated with their prematurity and low birth weight. Medical procedures at time of birth average $40,000, making the
annual cost in Kentuclqr approximately $20 million.
Responding to this Kentucky priority problem is a UK outreach collaboration called CenteringPregnancy Smiles, which is
working to reduce the cycle of preterm birth, low birth weight, and poor oral health in Kentuclqa Since ]anuary 2006, UK has
been collaborating with the T`rover I·Iealth System and I·Iopkins County I·Iealth Department to serve expecting families from
I·Iopkins, Muhlenberg, McLean, I·Ienderson, Union, Webster, Crittenden, Caldwell, and Christian counties.
The results have been phenomenal. A total of 410 women from the region have delivered babies as part of the CenteringPreg-
nancy Smiles program at T`rover Clinic’s Women’s Center. The overall preterm birth rates have been reduced from I4 percent to
6 percent and rates of low birth weight deliveries from 8 percent to 5 percent. For those women that completed more than 50
percent of the visits for Centering and received dental care, the rates for preterm birth were reduced from 14 to 4 percent and 8
to 4 percent for low birth weight.
The most telling data involves women from the region who did not attend at least 50 percent of the Centering visits and did
not receive dental care. That population did not see any improvement over the regional, historical norm for preterm and low
birth weight births.
It is estimated that CenteringPregnancy Smiles saved $1.9 million in medical bills in 2006 and 2007 by preventing 37 preterm births.
CenteringPregnancy Smiles is one of 36 Commonwealth Collaboratives we created to specihcally address pressing Kentucky issues.
We have asked UKs top faculty and researchers to tackle Kentucky’s toughest problems, as I Hrmly believe it is the responsibility of
Kentuclqfs flagship land-grant university to launch research projects that will make a real difference in Kentucky lives.
When you are out in the community talking to friends and colleagues about what is happening at your alma mater, please be
sure to remind them that UK is working hard to improve lives in every Kentuclqr county Because that’s what T`op 20 public
research universities do.
Sincerely
Lee T`. To dd ]r.
