PAVE's 2011 Holiday Donation Campaign

Show your clients you (and they) are making a difference by supporting the future of retail design with a holiday donation to PAVE in lieu of a traditional gift.

With your support, PAVE will continue to provide programs for students and educational institutions leading to careers in the retail environments industry.

Why Participate
• It’s easy! Rather than order holiday gifts, make a donation to PAVE and include a message in your holiday card noting the donation.
• Help the future of the Retail Environments Industry. Donations to PAVE supports the expansion of programs and services for students and educators.
• Corporate and Social responsibility of giving back.

Donations to PAVE are tax deductible.

Other Ways to Donate

2011 Distribution of Funds
PAVE Scholarship Program

Scholarship options:
1. One-time named scholarship — Minimum donation: $2,500.
2. Annual named scholarship — you fund it annually for a specified time period. Suggested minimum: $1,500 per year for three years.
3. Endowed scholarship — self sustaining fund that finances scholarships with the interest earned on the donation. Minimum: $10,000, payable in increments over a year before the scholarship goes into effect. Each year’s scholarship award amount will be set at 75% of the investment earnings from the prior year.

Donors may name the scholarship fund and have input on its application (i.e. interior design, industrial design, visual merchandising, architecture, fashion, or all programs leading toward a career in retail environments). Criteria such as financial need, grade point average, and academic concentrations will be included in the scholarship requirements.

Planned Giving
Gifts of Appreciated Property or Collectibles
With careful planning, you can enjoy favorable tax benefits, such as a charitable contribution deduction or the elimination of long-term capital gains tax, from gifts of long-term appreciated securities and real estate. If you donate collectibles, you can deduct the amount of the appraisal for the items. Consult your accountant for details on planned giving benefits.

Bequests
Honor and sustain your family name with a bequest to PAVE.

Life Income/Charitable Trusts
Make a substantial gift to PAVE without forfeiting the annual income produced by these assets. A charitable trust allows you to retain income for the life of you and your spouse, and it can be structured to create a substantial tax break over a period of years.

Life Insurance
You can transfer ownership of an existing policy to PAVE or purchase a new life insurance policy naming PAVE as the beneficiary and/or owner.

Remembrance Gifts
Honor a loved one or respected colleague with a gift to PAVE in their name. Any amount accepted. Your thoughtfulness will be acknowledged (without mentioning amount) to the individual or family member/friend.
