 2010 the year that the estate tax was to be zero for one year before returning to the 55% rate and $1 million
exclusion probably won’t happen. This article is being written before 2009 year end. It is expected that Congress will
vote to extend the current estate tax rate of 45% along with the exclusion of estates which are smaller than $3.5 million.

The University of Kentucky has impacted many of you and legacy planning may have an interest. There are
many ways to give back and I would like to suggest three ways to give and assure you we can outline many other
opportunities to you.

1. Charitable Remainder Trusts—are arrangements between a donor, a Trustee and a Foundation could be a
community foundation or the University. The gift givee transfers their assets to the trust and receives an
immediate tax deduction. The donor retains the right to its income and specifies who is to receive the
income and at what rate. After the death ofthe last beneficiary, the Foundation receives the remaining
assets and donates them to the gift giver’s charity(ies) of choice.

2. Life Insurance—you can donate a life insurance policy that is no longer needed to the University, your
church or charity of your choice, and receive an immediate tax deduction equivalent to the approximate
surrender value. You can also choose to name the University the beneficiary in which the face value of the
policy will go to the University. Your premium payments on the policy are tax-deductible if the University is
the owner and beneficiary of the policy.

3. Retirement Plan Assets—a particularly effective way to fund a charity. Depending on the size of your
estate, income and estate taxes may consume a large portion ofthis asset. However, if you name the
University or community foundation as your beneficiary then this will substantially reduce or eliminate your
tax liability.

Perhaps you ought to invest an hour of your time and see how the Wisdom of Salomon can be working for you.

Scholarships Work For UK And Kentucky
  I often use this space to tout a project or program — to spotlight the people who make the
  { i` University of Kentuclqr the special place that it is. In this issue, however, I use this platform to
  give voice to a different group of individuals — a group of individuals who are not currently
— ri LTI L; , members of the UK community
    B r ’ For nearly 150 years, this university has provided quality education to generations of students
  _;_ from across the Commonwealth. Educating students was our earliest mission, and it remains the
ra   most profound way we can enhance the future of our state. In everything we do and say — from
our Top 20 Business Plan to our conversations with external audiences — making sure UK
`I remains accessible to the next generation of Kentuckians is our top priority
T _- As Kentuclqfs flagship, land-grant university I believe it is incumbent on us to offer the Hnest
4 l education to every capable and promising student regardless of their Hnancial situation. Consid-
P Q . ering the current Hnancial climate facing potential students and their families, the Hnancial pres-
- >¢ - W sures of attending college are even more trying.
That is why we have launched the Presidents Scholarship Initiative. Scholarships are the great
equalizer, as they help level the playing Held for our students regardless of their background or Hnancial standing.
Simply put: Scholarships work for UK and the Commonwealth of Kentuclqa
For instance, a little over ayear ago, I traveled to MuhlenbergCounty to create the Felix E. Martin, ]r. Scholarship program. Mr.
Martin was a graduate of UK who wanted to provide scholarships to MuhlenbergCounty students enrolled in the Gatton College of
Business and Economics.
At that time, we had one student from Muhlenberg County enrolled in the Gatton College. This past fall, eight Muhlenberg County
students enrolled in the college.
A few years ago, an alum from Adair County started a scholarship endowment for students from that county I·Ie felt that students
who received a UK education had the best hopes for changing Kentucky
The year before he started that scholarship program, we had seven students enrolled from Adair County Last year, we had 194
students from Adair County here at UK. Fourteen of those young people receive the Adair County Scholarship.
That shows you that scholarships often serve to not only impact those students who receive them, but entire communities. When
students see their peers and friends succeeding at UK, they too know they can compete. That conhdence has a ripple effect, as many
more students and their families realize a shared dream of receiving aworld-class education.
I hope you partner with me and our fellow alunmi around the globe to provide students with the ultimate gift: The opportunity to
receive a University of Kentucky education.
