1 2010 Volunteer Fund-Raising Guide July 1, 2009 June 30, 2010

2 Dear fellow volunteer, Thanks to the dedication of volunteers like you, Middlebury achieved a record-breaking 62 percent in alumni participation last year, elevating our alma mater to the number one position in the nation for alumni support! Since its founding in 1800, Middlebury has relied on its alumni to continue the important work of educating bright young people. Our work is more important now than ever, and our efforts are paying off. Middlebury alumni have significantly raised the bar in both dollars and donors, and with your help we can sustain this remarkable level of support for the students and programs at Middlebury today. The recent economic climate has affected us all, and, for the College, it means that student access remains its first priority. You will hear much about financial aid in upcoming months, because Middlebury s unparalleled education is possible only when students from every background are able to participate in it. Thank you in advance for your participation and your efforts on Middlebury s behalf. Sincerely, Bob Sideli 77, P 08, 13 Chair, Annual Fund Executive Committee Annual Fund Executive Committee Through regular communication with other volunteer leaders and the Annual Giving staff, the Annual Fund Executive Committee takes an active role in ensuring that Middlebury meets its Annual Fund goals and commitments.

3 Steps to a Notes Prepare n Make your own gift by December 31. You will be more compelling when you ask your classmates to join you in making a gift to Middlebury. n Review your classmates giving histories. Have they been consistent givers? What was the greatest gift increase they ever made? n Stay informed. The more you know about the College s priorities and plans the easier your job will be. n Use Agents in Action (AIA). This is your source for information about all of your contacts. Make the Call n Identify yourself. Make it clear that the phone call is coming from a fellow classmate, working as a volunteer for Middlebury. n Find common ground. Find out what your classmates cherish most about their Middlebury experience. Ask them to consider a gift to the Alumni Fund in recognition of those memories. n State the goals. Inform them of the class goals, the overall alumni participation goal, and the Financial Aid challenge. n Have a gift amount in mind. The College will provide you with a suggested amount for each individual, based on your classmate s previous giving history. n Stress participation. Let your classmates know that their gifts truly matter to the College no matter the size. n Ask about a matching gift. Many companies will match their employee s charitable gifts, doubling or even tripling the size of the donation. n Check contact information. Confirm mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and addresses. Follow up n The classmates on your list are your assignments for the year. You are the main perhaps the only personal contact between these classmates and the College this year. Say thank you n Every gift deserves a personal thank you ideally a handwritten note or an . The College will mail a gift acknowledgement and receipt to each donor, but your personal touch is the most important! Information about the Giving Societies n 1800 Society For those alumni with the ability and desire to support Middlebury at a leadership level, there are several different giving levels in the 1800 Society. Founders Associates..... $1,800 9,999 Old Chapel Fellows... $10,000 24,999 President s Circle....$25,000 and above For alumni less than 10 years out, the giving levels are as follows: Panthers 1 5 years since graduation $ years since graduation $750 n True Blue Society Honoring the commitment of Middlebury s most loyal donors, this society is for those who have made gifts consistently for at least the last three fiscal years. n Gamaliel Painter s Cane Society The Cane Society recognizes those special individuals who have the foresight to plan for Middlebury s future by establishing life-income gifts or a bequest to benefit Middlebury.

4 Annual at Middlebury Giving What is the Middlebury Initiative? n The Middlebury Initiative was launched to fund the goals of the College s ambitious 10-year strategic plan. The plan seeks to establish Middlebury as a global liberal arts institution while strengthening its core mission as an undergraduate liberal arts college. To that end, the College seeks to raise $500 mil lion in the following key areas: Ensuring Access and Opportunity n Providing financial aid necessary to draw exceptional scholars from every state; from different socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds; and from around the world is one of our top priorities. Fostering Teaching and Mentoring n To ensure small classes and meaningful student/faculty col laboration, the College intends to add 25 new faculty positions, create professorships to honor faculty achievement, and provide additional funds for curriculum development. Middlebury s Annual Budget $223,000,000 Cost per student (approximate) $78,000 Comprehensive fee $50,780 Hidden scholarship for every student $27,220 Enhancing Programs and Resources n Learning at Middlebury is not restricted to the classroom and laboratory. The College is committed to enhanc ing the programs, facilities, and technological resources required to create and maintain an environment to facilitate and encourage intellectual risk-taking. Unrestricted Support n Unlike gifts to funds restricted to a specific purpose, unre stricted gifts can be used for any of the College s current priori ties. They enable the College to respond rapidly to changing circumstances, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, or provide a buffer against hard times, when income from investments is less than anticipated. The Real Cost n A Middlebury education is one of the best investments that we can make in the future. It introduces students to a world of possibilities and develops leaders and innovators with the creativity, discipline, and cultural awareness to work dynamically in our changing world. Providing this exceptional education is expensive. Currently, the cost of educating a Middlebury student is about 40 percent more than the comprehensive fee. All students, even those paying full tuition, receive a hidden scholarship to Middlebury. This subsidy is generated in two ways: from endowment earnings and from annual giving. The College and its many generous donors alumni, parents, and friends pay more than one-third of the full cost of a Middlebury education for every student, Class of 2013 by the numbers Students in the class come from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and 34 other countries. 6,904 Total Applicants 1,609 Total Admitted 600 Approximate Class Size 49% From Public Schools 51% From Private/Parochial Schools 7% First Generation of Family to Attend College 42% Receiving Grant Aid 20% Students of Color 10% International Students 8% Children of Alumni every year. In , that scholarship is approximately $27,220. Why Participate? n In measuring alumni participation, all gifts carry equal weight, whether they are $10 or $100,000. A $100 gift may not change the face of Middlebury, but $100 multiplied by everyone in your class will make a real impact. Last year, gifts of $100 and under totaled $274,523! n Unrestricted gifts to the Alumni Fund provide a significant portion of Middlebury s operating budget. Covering costs

5 like financial aid, faculty resources, and classroom materials, gifts to the Alumni Fund are essential to the daily operations of the College. n The rate of alumni giving, i.e. alumni participation, is widely viewed as a signifi cant measure of approval of the institution. It is a key eligibility factor for receiving grants from corporations and foundations. n For over 200 years, alumni giving has been a Middlebury tradition. Contribute to the experience of today s students, just as others did for you.

7 Ways to Give Credit Card Gifts Donors may use Middlebury s secure online giving site: go.middlebury.edu/ give or call toll-free at 888.for.midd ( ) to make a gift by phone. Mail Credit card information or checks payable to Middlebury College may be mailed to: Gift Administration 5 Court Street 5370 Middlebury College Middlebury, VT Direct Payment Plan If a donor wishes to arrange recurring payments from a checking account or credit card on a periodic basis (monthly, quarterly, etc.), please have him/her call the Annual Giving office at 888.for. midd ( ) or go to Multiyear Pledges It is possible to spread a gift out over several years with a multiyear pledge. This is a great way for someone to make a larger gift. If any donors are interested in this option, please contact the Annual Giving office and we will be happy to follow up with them. Corporate Matching Gifts Many employers will match gifts to charitable institutions. Donors should check with their human resources departments to obtain the appropriate paperwork. Gifts of Securities or Mutual Funds Making a gift of appreciated securities or mutual funds owned for more than a year may help to avoid the capital gains tax to which the sale of securities is usually subject. In addition, the gift can be declared as a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities. Securities can be transferred electronically, or stock certificates can be mailed to the Gift Planning office. Interested donors should call midd (6433). Bequests and Gifts that Provide an Income for Life There are many ways to make a gift to Middlebury College, and we offer flexibility and options. Donors can tap into the expertise of our Gift Planning office and work with our professionals on personalized plans that meet their financial goals and philanthropic objectives. Our Gift Planning team offers a variety of charitable giving vehicles that can help supplement income, take advantage of tax incentives, and utilize our professional asset managers. Charitable gift annuities provide a fixed income for life, and part of that income is often tax-free. Charitable trusts can help a donor make a transformational gift to the College yet still provide for loved ones. We work with donors and their advisers to explore potential gifts of unique assets such as closely held stock, real estate, artwork, antiques, life insurance and interests in a business. We can help the donor select the most tax-efficient assets to give to charity, either outright or through an estate plan, and the best assets to give to loved ones. We can help minimize taxes and plan for the donor s future and that of Middlebury. For more information, please contact the Gift Planning office at midd (6433), by at giftplanning@ middlebury.edu, or visit us on the Web at Notes
