Give AND Receive Are you looking for a secure source of fixed income now or in the future? You may want to consider creating a charitable gift annuity that will benefit you and the University of Michigan Library. How it Works 1. You transfer cash or stock to the University of Michigan. In exchange, the university pays you a fixed income for life. 2. The fixed income can be quite high depending on your age. 3. A portion of your income stream may even be tax-free. 4. You will receive a charitable deduction for your gift of the remainder to the University of Michigan Library. Types of Assets You May Give • If you decide to fund your gift annuity with cash, a significant portion of the annuity income will be tax-free. • You may make a gift of your appreciated securities to fund a gift annuity and avoid a portion of the capital gains tax. Start Receiving Payments Now with a Current Gift Annuity If you desire current income, you may transfer property in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed income beginning as early as this year. You will receive a current income tax charitable deduction for the value of your gift to the University of Michigan Library. Deferred Gift Annuity for income at Future Date Perhaps you are not ready to begin receiving income until a future date, such as when you retire. You can establish a deferred gift annuity, receive a current charitable income tax deduction and receive payments at a designated future time. Because you deferred your payment, your annual payment will be higher than with a current annuity. To learn more, please call Mari Vaydik at 734-936-2384.

Michigan Publishing leads the way Michigan Publishing has long been a leader in the burgeoning realm of librarybased publishing–or, as The Chronicle of Higher Education put it, “No place has more experience with library-based publishing than the University of Michigan.” With its dedication to openness and longterm preservation, the library is ideally positioned to fulfill the core mission of academic publishing, which is the sharing of knowledge to advance scholarship and research. And Michigan Publishing, which is now fully integrated with its flagship imprint, the University of Michigan Press, is a model operation of its kind, offering publication options ranging from the peer-reviewed monograph to Web-based
collaborative publications that aggregate and disseminate a wide array of invaluable resources. Its latest venture, a new imprint called Maize Books, offers yet another innovation–a lean and responsive open access imprint, open to shorter forms and offering rapid publishing turnaround for valuable and time-sensitive scholarly content. Maize Books represents “yet another great experiment in publishing,” according to Inside Higher Education. Aaron McCollough, Michigan Publishing’s Editorial Director, anticipates that Maize Books will release its first publications in early 2014.
