Mission of Alumni Development
“Giving to the College”
A gift to the College of Public Health is a gift to improve the health of the Commonwealth. Through our efforts in education, research and service, our mission at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health is to make Kentucky, the nation and the world a healthier place to live. Your support is vital for us to educate and train the next generation of public health practitioners and leaders. Your donations help to provide scholarships for our students, support for research and programs of faculty to enhance services for communities, and to improve the public’s health. Ultimately this translates into development of new knowledge and application to real world situations. We encourage you to contribute financially and invest in the college in order for us to grow and become better. We are appreciative for your investment and look forward to your feedback.

| How to make a donation to the College of Public Health |
|
Gift of Cash
An outright gift of cash is usually the simplest method of giving. It is not subject to gift or estate taxes, and you can deduct the gift to the full extent of IRS rulings.
|
|
Planned Giving
Although we welcome and encourage outright gifts, there are also other ways to support the College's programs financially, through what is known as planned giving. Gifts may be made during your lifetime and under your Will. They may consist of cash, securities, personal property or real estate. For more information contact Cynthia Lamberth at cdlamb2@email.uky.edu or call (859)257-5678. You may also visit the University of Kentucky Office of Development's web site: http://www.uky.edu/Development/give2uk/planned.htm

Last Will and Testament
One of the easiest and most common ways for you to make a gift to the College is through a bequest. A bequest is a provision in your last will and testament naming a person or organization to receive a particular item of real or personal property, a sum of money, or a percentage of your estate. The tax laws encourage bequests; consequently, a bequest is an excellent way to support the College's programs while realizing potentially significant tax advantages.

Life Insurance
Life insurance is often the single most valuable asset in an estate. You may want to consider transferring ownership or naming the UK College of Public Health as partial or full beneficiary of your life insurance. Many friends have found this to be a practical and inexpensive way to support our programs, with no immediate out-or-pocket costs and proceeds paid free of estate and inheritance taxes.

|
Life Income Gifts
As contradictory as it may seem, life income gifts allow you to give and receive at the same time. Such a gift can often make it possible for you to give what you would like to give, rather than what you feel you can afford, because you actually receive income from the gift. Life income gifts include annuity trusts and unitruts.
