EMERITI INVITED TO BE “GOOD NEIGHBORS”By Doris Gallan

For many former employees, retirement may have resulted in having less contact with theTrojan Family and, therefore, a reduced awareness of all of the good works former col-leagues have undertaken on behalf of USC. For example, faculty and staff at USC havedonated, in the past 8 years, over $4 million to fund community programs that benefit theneighborhoods surrounding its two campuses. The Good Neighbors Campaign (GNC) was conceived in 1993 to focus employee givingon programs that enhance educational opportunities, promote good health, support thearts and improve the safety of the children living within our neighborhoods. The GNC willcelebrate its tenth anniversary in the year 2004. The annual fundraising effort occurs at the University Park and the Health Sciencescampuses. The fundraising aspect of the campaign is held in the fall while grant makingtakes place in the spring. To date, 136 grants have been given to community organizationsaffiliated with USC with a committee representing faculty and staff making the decisions.Grants have been made to children’s programs that provide everything from free dental careto support in reading, math and science. Many are focused on keeping kids in high schooland helping them get into college – often they are the first in their families to reach thiseducational achievement. Emeriti Center retirees interested in contributing to the campaign may do so by sendinga check to The Good Neighbors Campaign, University of Southern California, BKS 400, LosAngeles, CA 90089. For more information, please call Tabitha Taylor, Office of ExternalRelations, 213-740-7400. Donations are tax deductible.

Exxon and Jack-in-the-Box amongmany others. A major emphasis in Sigband’sapproach to handling corporate criseswas the nature of the response by thecompany to the public. He outlinedfifteen trusted rules for corporatebehavior in any media exchange abouta crisis and spoke about the importanceof the “Sigband Six-Second Rule”which requires six seconds of silenceand thought before responding to aquery. The underlying message of hislecture was that negative crises not onlyimpose financial burdens on thecorporations involved, but these crisesalso involve a significant human andfinancial cost to the general public.

This lecture series honors the memoryof Professor Emeritus Noboru Inamotowho taught at USC from 1953 to 1986.Born in Canada and schooled in Japanand the U.S., Professor Inamoto de-voted his life fostering better under-standing between the people of his twoadopted countries, the United Statesand Japan. An endowment gift to theEmeriti Center from his wife BarbaraInamoto supports this series of lectureson US-Japan relations in his honor.

HOW TO CREATE CHARITABLE GIFTS

FROM INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

AND IMPROVE YOUR HEIRS’ INHERITANCE

Submitted by Jane Page, Director of Development, UniversityAdvancement

Because an individual’s largest asset at retirement is frequentlynot a residence, as it was in the past, but one or more retirementaccounts to which they have contributed throughout most of theircareer, the new and simplified rules for IRA and retirement plandistributions instituted by the I.R.S. in 2001 create some uniqueestate planning and gifting opportunities.

Bequests: IRA’s, as a rule, make attractive sources of charitable bequestsbecause beneficiaries receiving a distribution from a decedent’s IRAaccount, unlike other types of inheritance, must usually pay incometax upon receipt. The payment is classified as “income in respect ofa decedent” (IRD), or an inherited payment that would have beentaxable income to the decedent if they had received it before theirdeath. The distribution will be included in the beneficiary’s grossincome in the year of the gift and be fully taxable at the individual’smarginal tax rate. A good estate planning principle, therefore, is touse income taxable assets to make charitable bequests, becausecharities are tax-exempt and will be able to keep the total amount. By making a bequest to a qualified charity or to a charitableremainder trust, no tax is due by the heirs and 100% of the incomecan benefit the donor’s charity. The gift is very simple to create andshould be done directly on the IRA beneficiary form, rather thanthrough the Will, which would necessitate the delays andcomplications of probate.
