Finally, Jackie Jones Stone '64 and her twin sister Jeannette Jones '64, both members of the first graduating class of nurses at East Carolina, decided to bequeath a significant portion of their estates to scholarships for undergraduate students in the College of Nursing. The scholarships will be given to students from eastern North Carolina and eastern Virginia with an interest in community health nursing or psychiatric nursing.

"We're thinking about the future. It's very difficult for families today [to pay for college] so any little bit we could give, we wanted to do it. It's the least we could do," the sisters agreed on a recent visit to campus. "Giving these students a chance, that's what it's about. The more scholarships there are, the more attractive a school is. We hope this scholarship can make a difference in one more person studying nursing and being successful at ECU and in their career."

Number of Beneficiaries

One Two

Click the appropriate button for a presentation of one or two beneficiaries. Selecting one beneficiary will cause the second beneficiary and the associated name and birthdate fields to be hidden from view.

First Beneficiary

Enter the name of the person. You may use such titles as "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dr.", "Rev.", "Jr.", "Sr.", etc. For the remainder unitrust the first person is the first income recipient or beneficiary of the agreement.

First beneficiary is required

Birthdate

Please enter a valid birthdate for the first beneficiary

Birth month of the first beneficiary is required

Birth day of the first beneficiary is required

Birth year of the first beneficiary is required

You may enter the age of the person instead of the birth date. However, if the birth date is known, enter the birth date. Since ages are to be rounded up if the gift date is within six months of the next birth date, entering the birth date is the most accurate method.

Income Tax Rate

Select the current federal income tax rate of the donor. This will be used to project possible income tax savings. If you are uncertain about the correct rate, you may choose one of the middle rates. For many people, this will be close to their actual income tax rate.

Property Value $

Please enter a valid property value

Property value is required

Enter the amount of cash or the fair market value (FMV) of the asset(s) used to fund the CGA. For assets such as real estate, closely-held stock and other hard to value assets, the FMV is the appraised value of the property on the date of the gift.

Cost Basis $

Please enter a valid cost basis

Cost basis is required

Enter the cost basis of the asset being used to fund the trust or annuity. If the asset is cash, the cost basis is equal to the gift amount. If it is appreciated property, the cost basis will most likely be the amount you originally paid for the property. The cost basis is used to determine the capital gains tax which will be bypassed as a result of selling the asset. If the cost basis is not known or cannot be proven, the IRS assumes the cost basis to be $0. If cash funds the gift annuity, enter the same value as "Value of Property."

Payment Frequency

Select either monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual income payments to the beneficiary(ies) of the income. The choice of payment frequency does affect the amount of the charitable deduction as the more frequent the payment (i.e. monthly as opposed to annually), the smaller the donor's tax deduction.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the charitable income tax deduction must be at least 10% of the initial value. The payout amount has been lowered to qualify under the IRS 10% deduction test. This calculation includes a safety factor of 0.04%. The deduction factor will be 0.10040 or greater. The Maximum Payout Rate by Crescendo 10% Deduction Test: cres_calc_maxrate10
