Document everything
10. Summary of Risk
Management
Basic story and outreach is compelling
Focus on “plain vanilla” gifts
Most accepted are cash and securities
Avoid “hard-to-sell”
Do them well
Good system in place
Donors are satisfied
Good stewardship
Protect the Foundation’s multiple liabilities
Board fiduciary responsibilities
Legal responsibilities
Tax reporting requirements
Timely distribution of information
11. Core Principals
• Donative Intent
• Primacy of Donor(s) needs
• Timeliness of Response
Responsible stewardship
12. Defining Risk
Legal Issues with Estates
Inurement / Undue influence
Tax/Audit
Investment Risk
Fiduciary Oversight
Environmental
Pushing the Envelope
13. Legal Issues with Estates
Irrevocable pledges against the estate
Do you always request special notice?
Where is the progress/distribution tracked?
Are you willing to go to court?
14. Inurement & Undue Influence
A benefit to the donor or the Community?
Donor’s ability to make decision?
Appropriate safeguards?
15. Tax and Audit Risks
Make sure that donors receive accurate 1099s and
K-1s ASAP – Save time and calls
File all reports timely
What will the auditors ask?
What will the auditors say?
16. Investment Risk - CRTs
You are not at risk the same as with CGAs
CRUTs should never exhaust themselves
Hard to manage CRUT donor expectations
CRATs can and DO exhaust themselves
17. CRUTs vs. CRATS
CRUT pays a fixed percentage, re-calculated
annually. This offers inflation protection
CRUT payout must allow a 10% charitable
deduction
CRAT pay a fixed amount based on initial gift value.
CRAT payout must have less than 5% chance of
exhaustion
18. The Perfect CRUT Story*
Resident donated appreciated bonds =
$100K to an 8% CRUT in 1990
One year she received 8% of $92,000
One year she received 8% of $154,000
At her death in 2009, gift was $114,000
*Past performance no indicator of future results and the experience in one case is not representative of all cases
19. CRT Investment
Considerations
Balance income to donors with future value to
Community
Generally a 60/40 allocation is good
Other considerations (high payout or FLIP) may
influence specific gift management
20. Investment Risk - CGAs
Is there a clear investment policy?
Are there state-specific requirements?
Do you meet all your states’ requirements?
It’s your $$ if contract zeroes out
21. How It’s Supposed to Work
ACGA model is 45/50/5
Expected return is 4.25%
Assumption of 1% for investment/admin
Rates project a 50% residuum
23. Impact of Allocation over
Time*
Alloc 3 Yr Return Incep Incep Yr
40/55/5 4.56 8.61 2009
30/70 2.65 3.17 2002

24. Refundable Deposits
Can you create new gifts?
Variety of opportunities including:

25. Devil in the Details
Reality hinges on several factors including:
Initial contract and bond covenants
Formulas for discounting NPV
Depositor interest
Cost of $$
27. Fiduciary Oversight
Fundraisers and CFOs talk different languages
Board members have high expectations
Keeping up with donors can be difficult
Testing innovative strategies with gift models
28. Pushing the Envelope
Getting gifts at any cost or payout
Encountering environmental problems
Deal making
Losing sight of mission
