HCF eNewsletter Legacy Giving 7/14/21
Dear supporters and friends,
It has been so good to see things begin to open up around us as we step into what is shaping up to be a brighter summer. It has been so nice, for me personally, to be able to see family, friends, and colleagues after so long.
Connecting with others regularly is a great way to stay informed and engaged. I hope you find this eNewsletter to be just that – a way to stay in the know of special news items and of unique opportunities to expand your involvement with the college.
This summer, as we welcome faculty and students back for in-person learning, we are uplifted to be able to offer the opportunity for students to choose to continue their education on campus.
Fall semester will be here before we know it. As the college prepares to open the doors wider, we are excited to supply students with the tools necessary to succeed. In addition, the Foundation is getting ready to connect once again with all of you at our annual events like the WELI Forum, Gala for the Arts, Athletics Hall of Fame, and more. Information will be coming to your inbox very soon!
I hope you continue to enjoy the summer!
With you,
Jackie Cruz
Vice President,
Advancement and Development
and Executive Director for the
Hartnell College Foundation
GIFT AND SALE PLAN
Eliminate 100% of Capital Gains Tax
Many Americans will take stock of their investment portfolio this year and discover that they own one or more assets that produce little or no income. They will consider simply selling the asset and reinvesting the proceeds in a way that will generate greater income. Unfortunately, if you follow this strategy, you will lose some of the value of your asset to capital gains tax.
If you own highly appreciated assets and would like to turn these assets into cash without paying tax on the appreciation, let us show you how!
The phrase “low-yield asset” may be familiar to you, if you have invested over the past two or three decades. Now the most frequently asked question is when to sell your assets.
If you are like many people, you will pay significant tax on the sale of your assets. This tax instantly reduces any cash proceeds you may receive from the sale.
There is a way to avoid taxes and benefit charity with your investments. This is good news for anyone whose objectives include philanthropy.
A Gift and Sale plan may be structured to produce an income tax deduction that completely offsets the tax due on the sale of stock.
All considered, the Gift and Sale strategy actually delivers amazing benefits!
If you would like to learn how the double tax benefit of the Gift and Sale plan can help you realize your philanthropic goals and diversify your assets, please contact me today at jcruz@hartnell.edu!
ENDOWMENT TO SCHOLARSHIP
Oldtown Salinas Foundation – paying it forward
The spirit of philanthropy seems to be in the air and has inspired entrepreneurs Joel R. Panzer and Frank Savino. Just last month, under the Oldtown Salinas Foundation, they activated an endowment to provide scholarships to Hartnell students who are children of farmers in the area.
“We see how hard these families work,” said Panzer of those who are part of the weekly Farmers Market in Oldtown Salinas. “Some of the youth we wish to support are there helping every Saturday.”
Panzer and Savino were inspired by one particular young man, Romero Lopez (pictured), who works alongside his aunt Clarabell each Saturday. “He is the type of student this scholarship will benefit in order to take him to the next level in his educational journey,” Panzer said.
This endowment will honor the memory of Debbie Savino, a supporter of Hartnell College students, and also to bring tribute to Maureen Wruck, whose support of farm workers is known throughout Monterey County.
The Oldtown Salinas Foundation is a non-profit, founded in 2000, public benefit Corporation and is not organized for the private gain of any person. It is organized under the Nonprofit Public Benefit Law for public and charitable purposes.
The specific purposes of this Corporation are to support, preserve and promote the development and rehabilitation of the historic downtown area through fundraising, holding special events, promoting the food and arts culture, operation of a Farmer’s Market, public relations efforts, marketing and promotion, grant writing and community education.
The Oldtown Salinas Foundation manages the weekly Farmers Market as part of the beautification project of Oldtown. Both Joel and Frank are at the front side of operations and are proud of how the Market has stayed open during the pandemic, providing support to farmers as well as healthy alternatives to visitors.
Joel is a member of his wife Maureen’s Planning Consultant team, and Frank is the owner of AquaBlue Spa. They say the endowment will be supported each year with proceeds from participation in the Farmers Market.
“We have big aspirations for this endowment,” said Joel. “We want to make it stronger to support more students, especially those who are the first in their family to go to college.”
