These scholarship funds are very important because they provide a foundation for permanent funding of scholarship needs. The money donated by these contributors is never spent. It is invested along with the other NDSU Development Foundation assets, and only the earnings on those funds are distributed to the athletic department. The amount of each scholarship fund varies, but most do not cover the entire scholarship cost of an athlete.
Each scholarship fund is designated to go to an athlete or athletes in the sport of choice by the contributor. The lunch is a way for those athletes receiving the scholarships to meet those that donated the money. It was nice to meet our future starting quarterback, Nick Mertens, at the lunch today. He is the recipient of the "roadwarrior" scholarship fund!
Erv Inniger reported that $673,000 was earned this year through this program and the Cornerstone of DI programs.
You are a great asset to NDSU RW. It was my first time, and nice to meet the athletes and see the awesome support of NDSU at the luncheon. Made for a long day of driving, but well worth the trip. :)

Example of donating stock:
You bought 100 shares of stock in XYZ Corp in 1995 for $40 per share. The stock did a 2 for 1 split in 2001, so you now have 200 shares of stock. XYZ Corp has done very well over the years and the stock is now selling for $75 per share. Your original cost of the stock was $4,000 and the value today is $15,000. If you sold the stock, you would have to pay capital gains tax on the $11,000 gain.
If you donated the stock to the NDSU Development Foundation, you would NOT have to pay any capital gains tax on the gain, since you did not sell it. The IRS then lets you take a itemized deduction in the amount of $15,000 for the gift to the university. Assuming your combined federal and state marginal income tax rate was 30%, you would save $4,500 on your income taxes in the year you made the donation.
The original cost of $4,000 would provide you with $4,500 in tax savings. Yes, you would miss out on the $11,000 gain, but think what that would mean to NDSU!

You'd miss out on the $11,000 gain less the capital gains tax @ 10% or $9,900. So your $4,000 nets a $4,500 tax savings (disregarding inflation) and you get the satisfaction of donating $15,000 for the price of $5,400. You're getting almost 3 to 1 on your money.

I may need to consider this soon as all the kids will soon be out of college and off dependent status. I will need a tax break to soften the impact of the IRS and also be a benefit to Bison Athletics. Thanks for the info Road. Is the investment typically in the $4000 to $5000 range?
