Spring 2007 Penland Line CT 11 ty to Penland School because of their long relationship with the school and their support for its educational mission. The school’s plan for the property is to build new student housing that will retain the spirit of the Heyman house. The fami ly has asked that the new building include the porch swing from the house. In accepting the gift, Penland’s direc tor, Jean McLaughlin, said, “A gift of property so close to the school’s center of activity gives us added flexibihty in our efforts to enhance our historic campus to support the needs of our programs, instructors, and students. The Heyman family have been good friends of Penland School of Crafts, and we are honored to become stewards of their beloved family property.” ANNUAL FUND Thanks to support from our donors, Penland achieved a record year in terms of annual fund giving. On April 30, the end of our fiscal year, we had raised $346,192, well in excess of our goal of $300,000. This would not have been pos sible without the generosity of our donors and for that we are extremely grateful—thank you, thank you! Growth in our annual fund allows us to keep tuition at affordable levels and offer scholarships to individuals who would not otherwise be able to attend Penland. We offered over scholar ships this past year and funded 13 £ studio assistant positions. Close to 40 percent of our students receive some form of finan cial assistance. Our annual fund also helps cover the cost of our core fellowship and resident artist programs, supplies and equipment for our studios, utility bills, and overall operating expenses. Your support keeps the creativity and freedom to experiment flowing at Penland.Thanks for all you do! If you have questions about our annu al fund or are interested in donating to Penland, please contact Mike Davis at Penland School of Crafts, PO Box 37 Penland, NC 2876^, 828-763^-235^9, ext. 42 or mikedavis@penland.org. CIRCLE OF HANDS Won’t you consider being a part of Penland’s Circle of Hands? The Circle of Hands is a group of donors who have chosen to make bequests or various types of life income gifts to the school. These gifts are an important way for you to help sustain Penland as a place of inspiration, learn ing, and leadership in the field of craft. You have an opportunity to provide future support to the school that will benefit generations of students to come. Planned giving may create current or future tax advantages. Gifts of appreciat ed assets may help you avoid or reduce the impact of capital gains taxes; life income gifts provide current tax benefits and lifetime income streams. Gifts from your estate can have beneficial tax conse quences as well. The new IRA charitable rollover provisions afford all who are 70 years of age or older the opportunity to make direct federal income tax-free transfers of IRA assets (up to $100,000) to Penland through the end of 2007. Retirement account transfers cannot be used to fund life income gifts, but these provisions allow you to consider a gift that would have immediate impact at Penland while providing tax advantages. The Penland development office can provide you with information about mak ing a planned gift. Yovu* financial advisor can advise you on the specific tax advan tages of different types of gift vehicles.
