On the cover: The Campus Center, which opened in August 2011
Dear Friend: The College of Coastal Georgia is celebrating its 50th year of providing outstanding higher educational opportunities. The first 48 of those years were as a two-year community college, sending its graduates to other institutions to complete their degrees. In 2009, the College became a four-year, baccalaureate-degree-granting institution. Following a remarkable transition these past two years, this bold new path is presenting superb opportunities for growth, innovation, and distinction. Today, our students are able to earn a bachelor’s degree without transferring to an institution outside the area. With an outstanding location and campus housing, we are becoming a destination for college-bound students from other regions of the state and the country. Student enrollment is growing, challenging our existing infrastructure. The larger student body requires additional academic programs and faculty, a pattern that is expected to continue. To meet these demands, new facilities are being constructed and existing buildings are being renovated and expanded. Throughout our history, much of the College’s physical growth can be traced to the generous support of individuals, foundations, and businesses. To assure our ongoing momentum, that continued support is essential. We invite you to review the many gift and naming opportunities provided in this comprehensive listing. A gift to the College can create an enduring legacy and meaningful recognition of an individual, family, or business—a truly worthy investment in the future of the College of Coastal Georgia and our region. We need you to join us as partners in achieving the great promise of this college. We look forward to an opportunity to discuss the many gift and naming possibilities that are available to you. Sincerely,
Rees M. Sumerford

excellence. We are recognizing some of the legacies of excellence that have been established at the College of Coastal Georgia. Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Center for Nursing Education Hugh Nunnally established the Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Center for Nursing Education in honor of his late wife, Miriam. The $1 million gift specifically supports capital projects and programming that benefit committed nursing students and further develop topquality nursing education. The Nunnallys established The Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Maternity Care Center at the Southeast Georgia Health System, a partner of the College of Coastal Georgia. Recognizing the need for deeply engaged, highly skilled nurses to support delivery of top-quality maternity care and other health care, Mr. Nunnally made a parallel investment in the College. This gift represents a margin of excellence in capital, infrastructure, and support for nursing education.
At the dedication, Hugh Nunnally recognized the CCGA nursing graduates who motivated him to establish the Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Center for Nursing Education.

Southeast Georgia Health System Endows First Distinguished Dean The Southeast Georgia Health System established the Southeast Georgia Health System Distinguished Dean for Nursing and Health Sciences with a $1 million gift to the College of Coastal Georgia. The endowed deanship enhanced the College’s ability to attract an outstanding academic leader to serve as Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. “We hope this endowment will support the development of talented and skilled nurses who may someday work for Southeast Georgia Health System,” said Mike Hodges, Chairman of the Glynn-Brunswick Memorial Hospital Authority. In 2011, more than 85 percent of the new nurses hired by the health system were graduates of the College.
The Kathrine Jenkins and John H. Stembler Theatre
The Dukes Scholarship for Pre-Pharmacy Students
Bill Stembler chose a special way to honor his parents in the community that serves as headquarters for the Georgia Theatre Company, a family-owned business. His gift has benefited the equipping, operating, and sustaining of the new Campus Center theatre and related student activities. The Company and the Stembler family have been ardent supporters of programs advancing the arts and education, and improving the lives of young people for more than 85 years. Mr. Stembler’s volunteer efforts, in conjunction with this gift, assure quality programming and theatre experiences for Coastal Georgia students.
J. Ashley and Jill R. Dukes endowed an annual scholarship for a second-year or third-year undergraduate student seeking to matriculate into a Doctor of Pharmacy program. The Dukes Scholarship is awarded competitively and by application.
The Davis Medical Sciences Laboratory Mrs. Margaret H. Davis established the Davis Medical Sciences Laboratory in the new Health & Science Building. Her gift to the College commemorates the life and work of her husband, Dr. Byron Scott Davis, founder of Doctors Laboratory.
The Terrill Thomas Auditorium Sea Island philanthropist Julia Terrill Thomas had the foresight to recognize the importance of broad community access to the Southeast Georgia Conference Center. She established a named fund to enhance the facility and allow local nonprofit organizations use of the space for special activities free of basic user fees.

the beneficiary of the policy. The donor relinquishes all rights to the policy, which may qualify for a charitable deduction.

women as they embark on their life paths. There are a variety of ways to support the College of Coastal Georgia and its new mission as a four-year institution of higher learning. Below is a general outline of some of the
Cash The most common form of a cash gift is writing a check. You also may make a gift online at www.ccga.edu by using your credit or debit card. Appreciated Stocks Gifts of appreciated stocks can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. If you have owned the stock for more than one year, you may deduct the full market value of the stock as a gift while bypassing capital gains taxes.** Appreciated Real Estate Tax treatment of gifts of appreciated real estate is similar to gifts of appreciated stock. If you have owned the property for more than one year, you may deduct the fair market value of real estate as a charitable contribution while avoiding all capital gains taxes.** Insurance Life insurance is a unique way to give to the College. The most common method of gifting life insurance to a non-profit is to name the College as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Although this does not qualify for a current tax deduction, it does remove the amount of benefit the College receives from the donor’s estate. Another method is to gift an existing life insurance policy to a charity, making the charity the owner and
Gifts-In-Kind Gifts of provided services or other intangible items related to the College’s exempt purposes may be fully tax deductible at fair market value.** Will A properly drawn will is an excellent way to create a legacy at the College. Gifts may be a designated amount, a percentage of an estate, a specific asset, or the residue of a will. While there is no current tax deduction for “testamentary” gifts, the gift is completed at the donor’s death (or death of the second spouse in some cases), and the amount received by the College is generally removed from the donor’s estate, for estate tax purposes.** Life Estate Agreement Donors may contribute a personal home, a farm, or other assets to the College of Coastal Georgia and retain the right to live in the home or use the property to produce income. At the donor’s death, the property passes directly to the College without going through probate and is removed from the estate for purposes of estate taxation.** Deferred Annuity The donor makes a charitable gift to the College before retirement, in exchange for a promise from the charity
** There are limitations on annual deductions for charitable donations. The ramifications of charitable contributions and income and estate tax laws are complex. The College of Coastal Georgia, and its representatives, does not render legal, accounting, or tax advice. You should consult with appropriate counsel or other advisors on all matters pertaining to legal, tax, or accounting obligations and requirements.

of a lifetime income at some future date, generally retirement. The payments are guaranteed by the full assets of the charity. The institution agrees to pay a guaranteed life income, beginning when the donor retires or at any date he or she specifies. This concept may be appropriate for donors desiring to make a current gift, but are concerned about having sufficient retirement income. Deferred annuities may qualify for a current income tax deduction, determined by the donor’s age and actuarial lifespan. ** Charitable Remainder Unitrust A contractual agreement with a charity, a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) may offer a substantial income tax deduction, while providing annual income to the donor or the donor’s family. A CRT is funded by transferring assets to the trust—frequently, highly appreciated property or investments are used for this purpose. The charity can liquidate assets in a CRT and reinvest the proceeds to potentially produce a higher yield. There are two types of CRT—a unitrust or annuity trust. A unitrust pays an income stream as a fixed percentage of trust assets, and income will vary annually—if trust assets increase in value, so does the income payout. However, if trust value declines, so also does the payout. An annuity trust pays a fixed dollar amount based on the trust’s initial value. While the annual income remains constant, there is no opportunity to offset the effects of inflation, and constant payments in a down market may have a negative impact on underlying trust assets. Immediate benefits of a unitrust may include a current income tax deduction, bypass of capital gains
taxes when sold, and potential increase in income. Upon the death of the donor, the remaining trust assets are transferred to the College.** Charitable Lead Trust With this strategy, a gift is made to the College for a predetermined period of time, generally 20 years. During the duration of the trust term, the organization benefits from all income from the trust assets. At the termination of the trust, the trust corpus reverts to the designated remainder beneficiary.** Qualified Charitable Gift Annuity A qualified charitable gift annuity is a contract between a charitable organization and a person or couple. In exchange for a gift of assets to the College, the College of Coastal Georgia promises to pay a predetermined income quarterly, semi-annually or annually, to the annuitant(s) for life. Income promises are guaranteed by all assets of the charity. Gifts to a charitable gift annuity may generate significant income tax deductions to the donor(s).** All information presented is for general informational purposes only and should not be acted upon without qualified professional assistance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOLARSHIPS The vision of the College of Coastal Georgia is to be a college of choice for students within Georgia and beyond, providing an outstanding education for tomorrow’s leaders and citizens through service-learning, global awareness, and engaged entrepreneurship. One of the most important ways to invest in the future of the College of Coastal Georgia is to establish a scholarship. Your gift of a scholarship provides invaluable direct support to students. Establishing a named endowed scholarship is a thoughtful and meaningful way to remember or honor
an individual, family, company, or organization in perpetuity. Depending on the amount of the gift, the scholarship can provide partial-tuition or full-tuition assistance. An unrestricted scholarship provides the College flexibility in awarding a scholarship. However, donors may help determine the criteria for selecting the students who will be eligible for the scholarship. The College’s Office of Advancement is available to answer any questions on establishing a named endowed or restricted scholarship.
