Your generosity lets DePauw prepare students for meaningful lives of active citizenship, creativity and success. Last year, 14 philanthropists made gifts over a million dollars for infrastructure, growth and innovation. Ten thousand alumni and friends made gifts less than $500, totaling $680,000 – equivalent to the one-year impact of nearly $14 million in endowment. Gifts of all sizes are vital to providing an exceptional education for each student. Thank you for helping DePauw shape the futures of young people as leaders and thinkers for communities throughout the world.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT We are DePauw University. We change lives. I have said these words to faculty, staff and students during the past many days and months and have been astounded at how quickly they have resonated and come back to me. I hear them stated often and clearly now from many constituencies. These words are easy to say because they are both obvious and true. DePauw has been changing lives for 179 years. From our first students who saw DePauw as a pathway to a life of greater possibility to today’s incoming class who recognize DePauw as a creator of uncommon success, these words remain true. We are DePauw. We change lives. It is important to know who the “we” is in that formation. “We” are all of us – each student, each staff member, each professor, each administrator, each donor and of course, all of our accomplished and committed alumni. In these pages, you will meet, read about and be awed by a few of the many supporters who represent “we.” “We” have been producing astounding accomplishment for almost two centuries now – political leaders and authors, astronauts and musicians, teachers and social workers. Regardless of their profession, each of our alumni has made their mark on the world. Each of our alumni who give or volunteer is instrumental to creating that accomplishment. Thank you for your support of this amazing endeavor. When people ask you why you give, why you provide support, the answer is easy. We are DePauw. We change lives. Thank you for all you do to support our life-changing mission. I hope to see you on campus again, soon and often. You know you are always welcome here.

FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT Thank you to the alumni and friends who invested their faith and philanthropy in DePauw for one of the best fundraising years in University history in 2015-16. DePauw is the kind of extraordinary institution where the financial investment of alumni and friends is an essential and nonnegotiable element of the successful business model. Those who have benefited from a DePauw education understand that the in-depth and well-rounded experiences are more expensive than tuition alone can cover and too valuable to be abridged. Philanthropic investments make it possible for DePauw students to study with top-notch scholars in small groups; study and live among a diverse group of dedicated peers; engage in meaningful research, internships, international study and other experiential learning opportunities. The great opportunities that DePauw provides and the network of supportive alumni it sustains have been cultivated over nearly two centuries through the loyalty, care and continued contributions of the University’s graduates, faculty, staff and friends. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, DePauw’s culture values giving. Because of this culture, those who are or will be a part of DePauw are better individually and belong to stronger, more meaningful communities. Those featured in this report represent the varied interests, passions, ways and means of giving that together make DePauw great. These visionary donors provide unrestricted gifts, volunteer their time and skills, support faculty and academic programs, establish endowed scholarships and more. Their passions for DePauw, like yours, lie in personal experiences with this extraordinary University, in relationships with professors and students; in memories made and talents discovered through internships, service trips and research projects; and in the hopes and dreams for future generations of students. Giving in higher education must be valued, protected and encouraged. When we give, we are gaining something truly priceless. May these stories of support stir your own memories and passions for DePauw and inspire your involvement to preserve and improve the University. Thank you for everything you share to help DePauw excel.

WAYS TO GIVE
A gift to DePauw University is a meaningful statement of your belief in the mission of the institution and its ability to provide its students with a transformative, liberal arts experience. Whether you support our Annual Giving programs, make life-changing opportunities for study abroad possible or establish an endowed scholarship fund, your gifts to DePauw are deeply appreciated. Your philanthropy at DePauw can take many forms, each equally important, and allows for you to make the best gift that is right for your financial situation. Whether it is an immediate gift of cash, securities or property; a life-income gift such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust; or a planned gift through your will, your loyalty to DePauw will support this generation of students and beyond. WAYS OF GIVING » Pledges or new commitments can be made at any point and most commonly fulfilled through gifts of cash, securities, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. A gift of securities may also yield additional tax benefits through the avoidance of capital gains; you should discuss this with your financial advisor, as every situation is different. » Many donors are eligible through their employer to receive matching funds for gifts to DePauw. Find out if your company is one of the many that matches charitable giving. » Life-income gifts, such as a charitable gift annuity or remainder trust, can provide a lifetime of income through your charitable gift. In some cases, if using cash or low-yield assets such as a certificate of deposit, you may increase your annual income through establishing a life-income gift with DePauw. » A bequest in your will or through your living trust allows you to make a gift to DePauw that, in many cases, was not possible during life. You maintain control over your assets during life to meet unexpected needs, and your estate may earn an estate tax deduction for the value of your gift when realized by DePauw. » Real estate and personal property make wonderful gifts. Primary residences, vacation homes, farms or personal property such as art are popular choices for many donors.
4 I Donor Annual Report 2015-16
» Beneficiary designations of retirement plan benefits and tax-deferred assets, such as IRA and 401(k) plans, make excellent gift choices. When given to DePauw, these assets pass untaxed to the University, whereas leaving them to heirs can result in significant tax liabilities. » Life insurance is a forward-thinking gift that often allows you to make a larger gift than otherwise may have been possible. Whether you have an existing policy that is no longer needed or a new one, you can name DePauw as either the beneficiary or the owner, and you may be able to deduct your premium payments. » Charitable Lead Trusts are an effective planning vehicle that incorporate both the transfer of wealth within families and charitable giving. Assets placed into a Lead Trust provide an immediate tax deduction for the donor and immediate income to DePauw, usually for a fixed term of years. At the trust’s termination, the assets pass back to the donor or the donor’s designated beneficiary, usually children or grandchildren, with the potential for substantial tax savings. A Lead Trust is a powerful instrument for donors who anticipate high federal estate or gift tax issues in the future. » Make a gift online at depauw.edu/giving or contact the Development Office at 800-446-5298 for additional information about making a gift or charitable plans for DePauw.

students of color as they explore their academic and
social identities and educates the campus community on many aspects of African American culture.

lgan Baker is grateful he had the intuition to choose DePauw for his undergraduate education even after being accepted

of Music and now University president, and Ayden
Adler, current dean, who came to DePauw from the New World Symphony.

FISCAL YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
Brad A. Kelsheimer The fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 saw record investments in the DePauw student experience, near record gift levels from you, the University’s loyal donors, and a seventh consecutive year of favorable operating results when compared to the University’s budget. By these measures, 2015-16 was a remarkable year for your University. That good news, however, is countered by a softening of the University’s balance sheet, which was weakened due to a challenging investment environment along with operating draws from the endowment that continue to exceed desired levels. For many years, resource allocation at DePauw has focused, as is appropriate, on student access and activities that directly impact student experiences. The amount of scholarship and financial aid invested in DePauw students has increased from $42.8 million in 2009-10 to $54.5 million during the fiscal year just ended. (Our students received an additional $14.6 million of aid in fiscal 2015-16 from government and outside scholarship awards). Investments in instruction and student services have also increased significantly, rising from $53.5 million in 2009-10 to $64.7 million in fiscal 2015-16. Please know that such outlays are extremely rare in today’s higher education environment; this increase of more than 20 percent in investment in the DePauw student comes at a time when many other colleges and universities have been forced to allocate dollars to operational survival. While admirable, the sobering fact is that increased investment in our students has necessitated challenging financial trade-offs. The University is drawing close to 28 I Donor Annual Report 2015-16
$5 million more annually from its endowment than it should to maintain the endowment’s purchasing power during periods of depressed investment returns. DePauw is also investing approximately $3 million less annually in its physical plant than is necessary to eliminate its ever-increasing deferred maintenance inventory. Faculty and staff have also been asked to make ongoing sacrifices in support of maintaining our exceptional student experience. Only those employees at the lower end of the pay scale received raises in fiscal 2016-17 and, looking forward, voluntary staff attrition is being contemplated to provide resources for direct student investments. While considered appropriate at this critical time of adjustment in higher education, deferring investment in plant maintenance and employees critically undermines the University’s long-term health and vision. Without question, the future operating model in higher education is highly dependent on, and unsustainable without, the support of generous donors like you. Many of you have leveraged the considerable investments DePauw made in you into extraordinary financial backing for future generations of students at your alma mater. This institution has some of the most loyal and generous philanthropic partners in the nation, and we are fortunate to have you working beside us in the rocky sea of higher education. Thank you for your contributions. I remain, as always, grateful for the opportunity to serve your great university. I am heartened to know that we are in this challenging, but rewarding, endeavor together.
