InformedAN INSIDE LOOK AT HOW PHILANTHROPY SHAPES SAINT BEN’S

WILL YOU BE THE ONE?Have you thought about including the College of Saint Benedict in your will, living trust or estate plan? Called a charitable bequest, a gift like this off ers some key advantages.

Since all it takes is a few sentences in your will or trust, it’s simple. Because it’s a planned gift, you ensure your values and ideals carry beyond your

lifetime and can support many diff erent areas — so it’s fl exible. It can be set up to leave a certain amount, to leave a certain percentage or to be contingent on events — so it’s versatile. Plus, if your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value.

Questions? Ask Bill Hickey, director of gift planning, at 320-363-5480 or whickey@csbsju.edu.

ACCIDENTALLY INSPIRATIONAL

2

C.S. Lewis once wrote what every parent knows: “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” It’s the kind of lesson parents agonize over because we rarely get to watch the fi nal exam.

Th omas and Jana Vucetich? We’re pretty sure you’ve done a good job on this one with your daughter, Trista Vucetich Anderson But kudos to you, Th omas and Jana, for sneaking in a refresher course recently – even if you didn’t realize you were doing it!

Unbeknownst to Trista, the Vucetichs have been making a gift to the annual giving program almost every year, starting before she even graduated. And, like her parents, Trista is a consistent donor. But this year, after catching her parents in the act, Trista was inspired to substantially increase her gift during our $100K in a Day challenge.

Th is is why we say that every gift matters. Not only is there no telling whom your gift will help, there’s no telling whom your gift will inspire.

Donor Spotlight

Trista Vucetich Anderson ’98

Inspired“My parents inspired my gift today. I noticed in the 2013 Honor Roll they were listed as parents who donated last year. My parents make a very modest income, so it warms my heart they have continued to support Saint Ben’s long after I have graduated. Th eir contribution shows me how much they value what Saint Ben’s provided me as an undergraduate.”

Trista Vucetich Anderson ’98

With your help and trust in College of Saint Benedict, we have made great strides in the last decade. When I arrived here, the endowment was hovering around $20 million. Today, that has more than doubled to about $52 million. Likewise, the annual fund has nearly tripled from about $1 million to $3 million. Over $2 million of that goes directly to students as scholarships.

Saint Ben’s has never been a rich institution but always has been one that manages its resources well and puts students fi rst. Being a college with modest resources is similar to being an individual with modest resources. Wealthy colleges

have assets to leverage. And organizations like granting agencies, lenders and even donors are more likely to invest in wealthy institutions because they perceive that investment as being less risky or because, psychologically, it always pays to “back a winner.”

Ironically then, Saint Ben’s will attract more resources the richer it becomes. But a large endowment is not only an indicator that an institution is worth supporting. Because an endowment exists in perpetuity, the interest it generates will provide scholarships and faculty development dollars for all time.Because Saint Ben’s endowment is still comparatively small, this is another way in which we are disadvantaged relative to our

competitors. Simply put, our competitors’ bank accounts produce more interest income on an annual basis.

It is also vitally important that we continue to grow the annual fund while we grow the endowment. A $1 million endowment provides about $50,000 in operating revenue each year, so annual gifts of $50,000 provide scholarships as if they were a $1 million endowment.

As our closest friends and donors, you have stuck with Saint Ben’s and with me as we have begun to make this transformation. Iam deeply and personally grateful for your support, and I hope and pray that Saint Ben’s continues to earn your trust in its second century.

WHAT INSPIREDYOUR GIFT?

On Nov. 13, we set out with an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 in a single 24-hour period. Our alums, parents, faculty, staff and friends ended up contributing over $240,000. How did that happen?!

In November, during our $100K in a Day challenge, a lot of attention was understandably paid to the donation total number – $240,539. But almost lost in the shuffl e was the intriguing really big number: 780 donors.

With a spark of inspiration from some generous matching donors, 780 separate decisions were made that led to something quite amazing. Individually, the gifts averaged “just” $172.23, but collectively they made a very substantial addition to our scholarship fund.

Consciously or not, this mirrors a trend nationally in what is quickly becoming a more organized movement: giving circles. In a

giving circle, a number of small donors band together to concentrate their giving and deliver a bigger collective impact.

According to Susan Stehling in her article, “Giving circles bring individual donors together,” posted Nov. 6, 2013, at www.startribune.com, “Individuals are the primary source of charitable giving in Minnesota. In Giving in Minnesota, 2013 Edition, the Minnesota Council on Foundations reports that $3.8 billion or 70 percent of the state’s charitable contributions in 2011 came from individuals.”

“Saint Ben’s alums have been similar to a de facto giving circle for years,” says Vice President of Institutional Advancement

Kimberly Ferlaak Motes ’89. “Many of the principles and motivators are the same: a common sense of identity, a commitment to the organization’s mission, a genuine sense of belonging and of participation in something bigger than oneself…”

When Bennies stay connected, with each other and with the college, they keep that circle strong. Modest gifts beget more modest gifts. And collectively, big results happen. Th e buzz around our centennial year has made this a perfect example, according to Motes. “It’s clear to me that collective excitement within our circle of alums was a key factor in exceeding the goal for the $100K in a Day challenge.”

THE REALLY BIG NUMBERSeveral years ago, our institutional research staff developed a survey to identify our key

sources of market advantage, the parts of the CSB experience that resonate

most clearly with new students and their parents. We provide

newly enrolled students (and, later, their parents) with a

list of characteristics and experiences

and ask them to tell us how important each was to their fi nal choice. Th ose responses are always

interesting, but alone they aren’t suffi cient. So we also

ask them to indicate how CSB compared to their next

best choice on a scale of muchbetter to much worse. When we put

both of those fi ndings together, we gain tremendous insights into our students’values and preferences.

Th e results have been useful and occasionally even surprising. Ourkey sources of advantage vis-à-vis our competitors among new CSB students last fall included the friendly people they met during the recruitment process, our study abroad opportunities, our emphasis on personal values, the jobs our graduates obtain after college and our academic reputation. Th ose perceptions help shape our messages as well as our admissionactivities. More importantly, they position CSB for enrollment success in a remarkably competitive marketplace.

For all the resources colleges pour into recruiting a new class, it’s surprising — even shocking — how little eff ort most colleges make in understanding how students make their fi nal choice.Why did students choose who they did?

Our students have lots of choices. New CSB students in fall 2013 applied to more than 500 colleges across the country. More than four in 10 of them applied to at least fi ve colleges, fewer than one in 10 only to CSB.

While the Saint Ben’s women’s golf team was playing a practice round last spring break, Bridget Cummings’ cell phone rang. On the other end was the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., to interview the Blazers’ junior for a prestigious internship.

Despite being caught off guard during her interview, Cummings was selected foran internship in the Offi ce of Legislative Aff airs in Washington, D.C., where she worked as a liaison between Capitol Hill and the Department of Justice. As a natural leader, Washington, D.C., seemed like a perfect fi t.

“It was a fast-paced internship. I had to stay calm and be patient, which translates to golf,” said Cummings. “I learned to focus on what I’m doing and not freak out under pressure.”

Cummings also found that teamwork, like in athletics, was the key to a successful offi ce environment. “Teamwork is something you have to learn in an offi ce,”said Cummings. “Each person represents our offi ce, so when one person succeeds,

everyone does and when one person fails, everyone does.”

Attending Saint Ben’s has given Cummings the opportunity to pursue a political science major and economics minor while competing in a sport she loves. “I love how school can come fi rst,” she said. “Our whole life isn’t about a sport but it’s about balance. Th at’s what makes us stand out. It makes student-athletes

look more well-rounded. We are not going to school for a scholarship. We are going for an education.”

While her plans beyond college are uncertain at this point, a return to

Washington remains in the back of Cummings’ mind. “I have a passion for public policy,” she said. “I want to work in D.C. where everything happens. I’d love to be working in the White House one day.”
