LET TER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

D E A R A LU M N I A N D FR I E N DS , Thank you for taking the time to reflect on the state of UWC-USA and our plans to do even more to deliver on our mission. In addition to the growth and development of our students and programs outlined in the president's letter, we have much to celebrate at UWC-USA. With everyone’s help, we had another successful Annual Fund campaign, with the Davis Family Challenge Grant providing an additional $2 million for scholarships and programs. And special thanks to our growing alumni community: Since 2014, alumni giving has increased by 33 percent, the average gift size has increased by 12 percent, and participation has ranged from 27 percent to 36 percent.

We would love to hear from you. Please send an email to BoardChair@uwc-usa.org to share your thoughts and questions.

Why am I focusing on alumni giving? Simply put, our alumni are our future—in more ways than one. Our world needs UWC values and skills more than ever. And our alumni will be increasingly important as we chart the next chapter of UWC-USA’s journey. We are starting to look ahead to the 50th anniversary of UWC-USA and how we can ensure our school is better, stronger, and can deliver the UWC mission even more effectively in the next 50 years. I know that our 50th is still 14 years away, but we will need that time to do justice to our mission and the challenges we face. To stimulate our thinking over the past year, we have done important work in three areas: • Our strategic plan – with a focus on strengthening our program and the UWC experience and the role that everyone needs to play. • A master plan for our campus – evaluating how we make our aging campus more sustainable and mission-aligned. And making sure our significant annual maintenance expenses are being put to good use. • Outlines of a capital campaign – beginning to understand the financial implications of staying sustainable and relevant over the next 50 years. Over the coming months (and years!), you will be hearing more about these plans. And we will be looking for your guidance, creativity, and support as our thinking evolves. In today’s world, UWC is needed more than ever. And we need you to make sure UWC-USA is leading the way. So please stay engaged, give us your thoughts, visit the campus, live our values, and spread the word. Thank you for everything you do, and I look forward to working together for a better future.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

G R E E T I N GS FRO M M O N T E ZU M A! The past year has been excellent in three very specific ways. First, we graduated another wonderful cohort of bright, motivated students. These future citizens and leaders are ready to take on a variety of important challenges. They will do so with courage, confidence, and compassion. We celebrate their accomplishment and wish them well as they launch! Second, our work to strengthen our foundation is gaining momentum. We committed to greater alignment of mission and resource allocation through restructuring, salary reduction at the leadership level, a compensation and market study to guide decisions around equity and income inequality, zerobased budgeting to assess expenditures more strategically, and targeted staffing at the program level. As you'll read from the treasurer's report, financial sustainability is a top priority of the Board of Trustees. So too is living our mission in the administrative decisions we make every day. Our multiyear financial projections are healthier, too. Careful attention to expenditures combined with the generosity of our faculty (100 percent giving to the Annual Fund!), staff, alumni, friends, and board made a real difference this past year. So did new friends to UWC-USA. The Davis family has challenged us to give more and do more on behalf of our students and the

movement. We take this wonderful challenge seriously. We are inspired and determined to live up to the confidence it expresses. It feels great to be pulling together when the world seems to be moving apart. On the program side, we streamlined experiential education for greater impact on our students and communities. Going forward, we will focus on four “signature programs.” Why? So our students can experience the power to make a lasting difference right where they are. Wherever they are. Wilderness, Constructive Engagement of Conflict, Arts and Culture, and Sustainability will be our students’ proving ground. So will residential life, where we are focused on social and emotional learning and restorative justice programming as important pillars of a diverse community dedicated to peace and the conditions that make it possible. Third, we are laying the foundation to innovate for impact. As Steve mentions in his letter, we began work this past year on strategic, campus, and campaign plans. All focus on mission alignment. All focus on sustainability. All focus on creating a powerful and empowering place-based UWC-USA experience. In the coming year, we will develop these plans. We will need your help, and we will reach out to get it. Stay tuned for exciting opportunities to give back by thinking forward!

There are many other ways we are gaining momentum as a school, a community, a movement. I have enjoyed sharing our forward motion with alumni and friends as I travel. I have also enjoyed hosting people here in Montezuma this past year. Highlights included hosting Shelby and Gale Davis at graduation and welcoming the largest reunion ever back to Montezuma this summer. Shelby and Gale inspired all of us. It was great to meet alumni, their families, and many faculty and staff who have since moved on from UWC-USA. Hearing the ways they continue to live the mission was energizing and made me feel grateful to be part of the UWC movement. Our UWC community is awake to the challenges of this moment in world history. UWC is the answer. It is up to us to speak it loudly. Thank you for making this important educational experience possible for so many young people and for helping us to launch another cohort of changemakers poised to make a positive difference in the world. My determined best,

FINANCIAL REPORT

G R E E T I N GS FRO M H O N G KO N G , In the first letter I wrote as treasurer two years ago, I addressed a number of important details about the finances of UWC-USA. Specifically, I drew attention to the following facts: • Delivering a UWC education is simply expensive. The annual cost to educate a single student for one year is over $50,000. • The tuition that students pay only covers a small share of the cost of the program for that student; the remaining two-thirds are paid for by our Annual Fund and generous donors like Shelby Davis and our alumni and friends. • UWC-USA historically was balancing its budget in part by deferring spending on major capital projects. These are projects that only get more expensive as they wait to be addressed. I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress in all three of the areas in this fiscal year (2017-18) for the following reasons: • With the support of a remarkable number of alumni and friends, we met the Davis Family Challenge Grant for the first year. Because we raised more than $2 million in our Annual Fund in 2018, we were awarded a $2 million match through the generosity of the Davis family. The Annual Fund is accounted for as part of the Gifts to Operations. The Annual Fund increased by an amazing 17% over last year. This represented an amazing 17 percent increase in giving over last year. • Under the leadership of the administration, the school developed an even greater costconscious mindset that resulted in a seven percent reduction in total operating expenses. • Despite an increase in capital expenditures (related to deferred maintenance), our cost-conscious mindset has helped us realize a small budget surplus of $29,933. Achieving financial sustainability while delivering a high-quality education has always been a key priority for the Board of Trustees, and we are encouraged that we are taking strides in the right direction. As long as we continue to match the Davis Family Challenge Grant, we will have four years to achieve long-term structural financial sustainability. As we look ahead to our 50th anniversary, however, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do. We know that to fully fund our scholarships and our operations—especially after the Davis Family Challenge Grant expires in four years—will require additional fundraising for our endowment. Further, the recently completed campus master plan indicates even more funds necessary to provide a space for our students to live, work, and learn. I want to add my thanks to that of Victoria and Steve. We are fortunate to work with so many talented and generous alumni and friends. Thank you very much for your continued support. Sincerely,

KC KU N G ’ 87

The programs are opportunities for the school to expand its impact beyond the students who attend during the academic year. UWC-USA was one of the very first International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in the United States and has been offering IB teacher workshops since 1992. Each summer, more than five hundred teachers participate in seminars led by workshop leaders employed by UWC-USA to help IB teachers from around the world. “We are essentially pioneers in IB education in the U.S.” says Eyad Shabaneh, Director of the IB Teacher Training Programs. “With growing interest in the IB curriculum, we continue to have strong enrollment.”

countries represented by students attending GLF

While the educator program is located off campus, students from around the world attend the Global Leadership Forum (GLF), a recognized UWC short course in Montezuma. The 50 students who attended this summer came from 16 countries and were led by eight staff members. Jason Brewer, GLF director, believes that the program is an important feeder program for the UWC movement. “The students who attend GLF are interesting applicants for the Davis Scholarships here at UWC-USA and for National Committees around the world.” Each summer, GLF participants work on the school’s farm, hike in the mountains, complete projects with other teens from around the world, and develop community projects that they implement when they return home.

The Bartos Institute for the Constructive Engagement of Conflict provides students with the skills to mediate differences between people with different backgroundsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fundamental skill for a UWC student. The arts and culture program helps students learn about and explore the cultural differences between community members and challenges them to find new ways to express their values and experiences. Sustainability is central to the UWC mission, and an important part of our work is to become good stewards of the world we inhabit. And Wilderness provides opportunities for students to challenge themselves, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a keener appreciation of the natural world. The following pages provide a look at these five program areas that are essential to the UWC-USA experience.

The best one will balance what you wish to accomplish for yourself, your family, and your charitable interests in your overall estate and financial plans.

GIFTS FROM RETIREMENT PLANS

GIFTS THAT RETURN FINANCIAL BENEFITS

Retirement funds are often taxable— whether to you or your heirs—when withdrawn. If you make a gift directly from your retirement fund to UWC‑USA, you can often avoid these taxes by taking an offsetting deduction for your charitable gift.

Gifts that pay income are often favored by donors with appreciated assets such as a business, stocks, or real estate. These gifts can be structured to provide you and/or others with income, tax savings, and other benefits while leaving a lasting legacy for UWC-USA.

To learn more about tax benefits related to planned giving, please speak to your financial advisor. If you would like to have a confidential dialogue about supporting UWC‑USA with a planned gift, please contact Vice President for Advancement Christie Baskett at 505-454-4214 or christie.baskett@uwc-usa.org.
