Year In Review - 2000

With this final issue of Endeavor for the year 2000, we have chosen to reflect upon the remarkable generosity, and faith, of those who have committed their personal support to further the endeavors of basic biomedical science at The Scripps Research Institute.

On the following pages are names of those who have donated gifts to support the Institute in the year 2000 as well as names of individuals who have informed us that they have named TSRI as a beneficiary in their estate.

We deeply appreciate this outpouring of private support for basic research at TSRI. Even more, we acknowledge that it is in many ways a lifeblood that assures continual renewal of our institution. By this I mean that private support provides the venture capital for our scientists to pursue new research opportunities that might otherwise be lost.

The Scripps Research Institute stands at the forefront of biomedical science today and is one of the most successful institutions in the country in competing for funding from the federal government and others for mainstream science. Mainstream science, however, requires a beginning; it is in the laboratories of both young and seasoned investigators that the unexpected often occurs which may lead to an entirely new field of endeavor. When this happens, we can only turn to the institution's private and discretionary resources, particularly unrestricted gifts, for interim support. Thus, these private funds actually lever much greater institutional support as the science that they are supporting matures.

There are many opportunities to participate in the endeavors at TSRI. They range from annual unrestricted giving all the way to naming of a department chair, a program, or an entire institute, as are outlined following this letter.

Finally, we are highlighting some of the individual gifts we have received over the years in sidebars on this and the following pages. As always, with all lists there is a risk of oversight. We are deeply grateful for those gifts which have supported individual scientists and programs essential to carrying forward our work.

We feel certain that private philanthropy will help TSRI to stay at the forefront of research that will provide the cures of tomorrow.

Please visit our web site at www.scripps.edu to learn more about TSRI and our programs.

With sincere appreciation,

Deeda Blair - Chair of the Development Committee

Opportunities for Giving

Unrestricted Funds

The success of any research institution rests in its ability to identify promising new research programs in their infancy. Unfortunately, new programs generally do not qualify for federal grant support until they are fully developed. Similarly, young scientists who have not yet achieved prominence are also at a disadvantage in competing for grants. Their search for funds is apt to delay their work and inhibit them from striking out in new directions. Consequently, unrestricted gifts constitute one of our most valuable resources as they allow us to underwrite important new projects that might not otherwise receive funding.

Giving Opportunities | Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Contributions of $1,000 or more entitle a donor to annual membership in The Presidents' Council.

Institute for Childhood and Neglected Diseases

The new Institute for Childhood and Neglected Diseases at The Scripps Research Institute will apply the new molecular understanding of biology to address, reduce and successfully treat illnesses in two major categories childhood diseases, including childhood cancers, and neglected diseases that effect populations primarily in developing countries.

The time has come to apply the burgeoning knowledge of genes to specific childhood and early-onset diseases. For a number of years, researchers have attempted to use new therapies like gene therapy against many of these diseases cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, for example, and certain forms of cancer. Unfortunately, none of these efforts has led to consistent success. But in each case, there is reason to believe that the work done thus far has laid the groundwork for approaches that will succeed. And in other cases, such as autism, scientists are only now uncovering genetic clues that might lead to better treatments.

The majority of the world's population lives in developing countries, and has yet to reap the benefits of the genetic revolution. But that is about to change and The Scripps Research Institute will accelerate the process. As biologists have begun to learn how human genes function, they also have begun to investigate the genes of parasites and other disease-causing organisms. The new Institute for Childhood and Neglected Disease is prepared to build on TSRI's previous successes, and will use the latest advances in biology to help vanquish parasitic diseases.

Giving Opportunities | Naming opportunities are available as follows:

Faculty Chairs

An endowment gift to establish a named faculty chair at TSRI is one of the most meaningful and lasting gifts available to the private donor. Such a gift perpetuates the donor's philanthropy by creating a permanently funded position, named by or for the donor, which may be occupied in succession by major figures in the world of biomedical science. The benefits far outlast the life of the donor, and will be enjoyed by successive generations of family members.

Giving Opportunities | A commitment of $1,500,000 will establish a senior faculty chair bearing the name of the donor or loved one. A commitment of $2,000,000 will establish a named faculty chair to be occupied by a Dean, Director or Department Chair.

Senior Research Fellowships

Sometimes the implications for discoveries in basic research are unknown. Often, though, discoveries by geneticists, neuroscientists, immunologists and other basic scientists become the foundation for the most important breakthroughs in medical treatments and diagnostic technologies.

A gift to fund a senior research fellowship provides a scientist with the opportunity to pursue new directions that would have been otherwise left uncharted and could possibly lead to better therapeutics and medical advances. Funding a senior research fellowship would also be a great way of participating in one of the great scientific adventures of our time.

Giving Opportunities | A commitment of $75,000 or more will establish a senior research fellowship that supports the work of a faculty member or a senior scientist for one year. A gift in the amount of $1,250,000 or more will endow a senior research fellowship ensuring the ongoing funding of a scientist's research work or initiative.

Harold L. Dorris Neurological Reseach Center

The Harold L. Dorris Neurological Research Center was founded in 1999 as the result of a major naming gift and long-term commitment by the Harold L. Dorris Foundation under the direction of Helen L. Dorris.

The Center is bringing a dedicated effort to conducting research and education into neurological disorder, including schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, as well as advancing knowledge of the process of aging of the brain. The Center has attracted an international cadre of brain scientists, led by Tamas Bartfai, Ph.D. Dr. Bartfai is former head of central nervous system research at Hoffman-LaRoche in Basel, Switzerland, and former chairman of the Department of Neurochemistry and Neurotoxicity at Stockholm University.

The Center seeks contributions to supplement the original gift of $10 million to recruit additional senior faculty, establish named fellowships and create visiting professorship appointments.

Giving Opportunities | Contributions of all sizes are welcome. A gift of $1,500,000 will permanently name and support faculty chairs while a gift of $1,250,000 will establish named fellowships and a gift of $50,000 will establish a visiting professorship appointment of four months. Specific program funding in the range of $50,000 $300,000 for new scholars is also a priority.

Graduate Degree Program

In 1989, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) established a Ph.D. program in Macromolecular and Cellular Structure and Chemistry. A second Ph.D. program in Chemistry was established three years later to focus on synthetic and bio-organic chemistry. Taken together, these programs provide an exceptional training opportunity in a unique learning environment for a select group of outstanding and intellectually diverse students.

We believe that The Scripps Research Institute's philosophy toward education, emphasis on individualized instruction, adherence to the highest scientific standards, and reputation for research excellence provide an unparalleled environment for advanced study and outstanding preparation for successful careers in science.

Unlike other degree-granting institutions, The Scripps Research Institute does not charge tuition fees. Therefore, the institution must look to private contributions to provide permanent funding for the programs.

Giving Opportunities | Contributions of all sizes are welcome. A gift of $270,000 will permanently name and support an endowed graduate stipend while a gift of $18,000 will name and support a graduate stipend for one year. A commitment of $4,500,000 or more will entitle the donor to name the Graduate Program.

Summer Internship Program

In 1989 The Scripps Research Institute established a summer internship program for students from local high schools. This initiative was designed to give high school students, undergraduate students and middle and high school science teachers an intensive, basic hands-on science research laboratory experience.

Since 1993, over 200 high school students have participated in the Summer Research Internship Program. During the same time, nearly 25 science teachers have attended the program and 71 undergraduates from local colleges and universities.

At this time, the program capacity has grown to as many as 50 internship slots each summer. With the demand and popularity of this program in local high schools, one of the limiting factors on filling these slots is availability of funding. In addition, we have developed a teacher high school component, which will considerably enhance the teaching of sciences in the high schools themselves.

Giving Opportunities | Contributions of all sizes are welcome. A contribution of $2,500 supports the participation of one high school or undergraduate student in the program. A contribution of $5,000 supports the participation of one teacher in our Teacher Training Program or can fund a One Day Teacher Training Seminar on Contemporary Issues in Bioscience. A contribution of $100,000 or more can endow a program.

Endowments

The Scripps Research Institute seeks to enhance its endowment base from private contributions to provide ongoing income each year that can replace federal support. An endowment gift is one of the most meaningful and lasting gifts available to the private donor. The benefits far outlast the life of the donor, and will be enjoyed by successive generations of family members.

Giving Opportunities | A gift of $1,500,000 or more will permanently name and support a senior-level faculty position while a gift of $2,000,000 will establish a named faculty chair to be occupied by a Dean, Director or Department Chair. In addition, the Immunology Building can be named for a gift of $5,000,000 or more.

Other endowment opportunities exist throughout the institute's departments and centers. Specific programs such as the High School Student and Teacher Science Training Program can be endowed with gifts of $100,000 and up, and will be tailored to the donor's interests and wishes within the programmatic priorities of the institute.

Equipment Acquisition

TSRI enjoys one of the world's leading private computational capabilities with an array of computers, including a Cray supercomputer. Research is further supported by X-ray crystallography laboratories, high performance NMR spectrometry including a state-of-the-art 750 MHz instrument, electron microscopy, optical spectroscopy, a centralized DNA sequencing laboratory and a fluorescence activated cell sorting facility. Scientists are able to make new discoveries and advances in research with the help of modern technology.

TSRI scientists require state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to remain on the cutting edge of research and rapidly changing technology. New laboratory equipment and tools are constantly being developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the scientists. Gifts of discretionary funding are needed to fund the continuous modernization of laboratories and equipment at TSRI.

Giving Opportunities | Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Contributions of $1,000 or more entitle a donor to annual membership in The Presidents' Council.

The Kresge Library

The present collection of the Kresge Library has its roots in the Medical Library established with the founding of Scripps Metabolic Clinic in 1924. At that time, the key reference tool used to identify relevant scientific and medical publications was the printed index. Since its founding, the Library has maintained subscriptions to three major indexes: Biological Abstracts which dates from volume 1, 1927; Chemical Abstracts which is complete from 1907 to present; and the print predecessors to today's Medline database which date from volume 1, 1916. Science Citation Index was added in 1975 to provide Scripps scientists and physicians with access to the unique advantages offered by citation indexing.

The Kresge Library is currently undertaking a major effort to expand access to these indexes electronically and making them available at the scientist's desktop. Private support for the Library is needed to take advantage of technological advances, and to purchase tools for students and faculty to manage the explosion of scientific and medical publishing. These tools are essential to the central mission of TSRI, which is to build on the existing base of knowledge and to rapidly disseminate new findings to the scientific community.

Gifts of discretionary funding are needed to fund the revamping of the Library. The Library's furnishings, specifically its study carrels and chairs have served generations of students and faculty and are in need of replacement.

Giving Opportunities | Gifts of all sizes are welcome. A gift of $100,000 or more will provide for the purchase of the electronic version of an index, thereby greatly expanding access. A contribution of $20,000 or more will refurbish the Library with new study carrels and chairs. Contributions of $1,000 or more entitle a donor to annual membership in The Presidents' Council.

Gifts to The Scripps Research Institute

Gifts to The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) provide the assurance that our institution will continue its mission of striving for excellence in biomedical research. Unrestricted gifts are particularly useful as they can be applied to programs and areas of urgent need. Gifts may also be designated for specific purposes, such as research, educational programs, or equipment. They may also be made in tribute to or in memory of a relative or friend.

GIFTS OF CASH

An outright gift of cash is usually the simplest method of giving. It is not subject to gift or estate taxes, and you can deduct the gift amount from your federal income tax return up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Should the gift total exceed your gift ceiling for that year, you can carry over the remaining deduction to succeeding tax years. This means that with careful planning, nearly every outright gift to TSRI can be fully deducted.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

Giving appreciated stocks or bonds is a superb way to show support for the institution. You can deduct the full fair market value of long-term appreciated securities, and avoid any tax on the capital gain. A gift of securities is deductible up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, with the five-year carry-over option. Under certain circumstances, however, you can choose to qualify for a 50 percent annual deduction by reducing the value of your gift by 100 percent of the appreciation in the contributed property-that is, to the cost basis.

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE

Almost any type of real property - a personal residence, a farm, a vacation home, a commercial building, or an undeveloped parcel of land can constitute a gift. A gift of real estate can be made either outright or through other methods.

If the property has appreciated in value and is given outright, you will avoid any tax on the capital gain, reduce your taxable estate by the value of the gift, and receive a charitable contribution deduction for 100 percent of the fair market value of the property. Your actual income tax savings will depend on your tax bracket. You may deduct the value of the gift up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. Under certain circumstances, however, you can choose to qualify for a 50 percent annual deduction by reducing the value of your gift by 100 percent of the appreciation - that is, to the cost basis.

GIFTS OF RESIDENCE

The tax laws enable you to donate your personal residence or ranch and still live there for the remainder of your life. Furthermore, you can stipulate that your spouse may live there for his/her lifetime, or you may continue to live on the property for a set number of years. Either way, you will receive an immediate income tax deduction for the contribution.

The property does not have to be your primary residence- it can be a vacation or second home. Further, you do not have to reside on the property. You can also give stock in a cooperative apartment if the apartment is used as a primary residence.

The charitable deduction is less than the full value of the property and equals the value of the remainder interest given to us. There are also charitable deductions available for estate or gift tax purposes if the life interest is given to one or two individuals and the remainder interest given to charity.

GIFTS OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST IN PROPERTY

You are allowed a charitable deduction for the value of an undivided portion of your entire interest in a property. This consists of a fraction or a percentage of each substantial right or interest in the property. The fraction must extend over the entire term of your interest.

GIFTS BY BARGAIN SALE

This entails your transferring ownership of an appreciated asset (real estate, securities and the like) to TSRI. In return, we would pay you an agreed-upon amount that is less than the full fair market value - usually your original cost. Essentially, you are selling your asset to us for less than its fair market value, so the transaction is part gift and part sale.

You might want to consider this method if the current value of the property exceeds the amount you wish to give or if it is not practical or economical to divide the property. You are entitled to a charitable deduction based on the difference between the sale price to us and the full fair market value. You incur tax only on the part of the appreciation attributable to the sale.

GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE

Sometime you may reach a point where life insurance no longer has the financial significance for your family that it once did. In that case, you may wish to make a gift of the policy to TSRI. There are two ways to do this.

First, you may make TSRI the owner of the policy. This allows you an immediate income tax deduction. If the policy is fully paid up, your deduction is equal to the replacement value of the policy unless that value exceeds the tax or cost basis. If premiums remain to be paid, the deduction is approximately equal to the cash surrender value. If you continue to pay the premiums on such policies, you will be entitled to a charitable contribution deduction. Or you may wish to contribute the amount of the premiums to us; we, in turn, could pay the premiums. As long as we are not under any obligation to pay the premiums, your contribution would be fully deductible.

Secondly, you also may name TSRI as the beneficiary of your policy. Since the designation is revocable it cannot be counted for any immediate tax savings. At your death, however, your executor may take federal estate tax charitable deduction for the entire amount.

Life insurance interacts well with other gift mechanisms. For instance, you can use all or part of your trust or annuity income to establish a irrevocable life insurance trust. The trust could purchase insurance on your life perhaps an amount equal to the charitable gift - and you could name a spouse or child as the beneficiary. This way you can make a charitable gift and replace the assets with life insurance for the benefit of a loved one.

Alternatively, you could take all or a portion of the income for a set term of years and purchase a universal life insurance policy naming a family member the beneficiary. This is another excellent way to replace the wealth transferred to charity.

LIFE INCOME GIFT

Another way to make a gift to TSRI is to transfer property (e.g., cash, securities, real estate) to the management of a trustee (for example, TSRI as an independent agent), and establish a life income arrangement. After the lifetimes of the beneficiaries, we receive the assets in the trust. Life income trusts provide many benefits to you as a donor: an income tax charitable deduction, a reduction in estate taxed, avoidance of capital gains taxes, freedom from investment worries, and, of course, income for life.

There are several types of life income arrangements for different circumstances: unitrust, annuity trust, pooled income fund, gift annuity. Information about each gift arrangement is readily obtained from the Development Office at TSRI.

GIFT IN TRUST-WEALTH TRANSFER

A trust may be funded with property (e.g., cash, securities, real estate). The terms of the trust will provide for specific payments to TSRI for a number of years, after which the property is passed to a relative or friend of the donor. The donor receives sizeable estate and gift tax advantages, and TSRI immediately receives funds for its programs. This arrangement is called a lead trust.

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFT

Many companies encourage philanthropic giving among their employees by offering to match an employee's gift with a corporate contribution. Donors interested in this opportunity should obtain the necessary matching gift form from their employer (usually the personnel office).

GIFT BY BEQUEST

One of the easiest and most common ways to make a gift to us is through a bequest in your will. The tax laws encourage bequests; consequently, a bequest is an excellent way to support our programs. Bequests work particularly well for those who are unable to make an immediate outright gift, but would like to aid us in the future. There are several types of bequests:
