THE SALKE FOUNDATION President Self Awareness, Loving Kindness, Empathy Foundation ARTICLE I The Role of THE SAKE FOUNDATION The SAKE FOUNDATION is a Private Charitable Foundation (PCF) is a separate entity, privately funded and formed with the wish of Helen Martin Harnan. It is created with the specific purpose of contributing to various charitable causes. As a distinct, legal entity, The Private Charitable Foundation. 1. Contributes to a charitable cause and takes a tax deduction, while relinquishing personal control over her gift. 2. Minimizes her estate tax liability. 3. Avoids capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated property contributed to the charity of her choice. 4. Provides continuing employment and activity for her family members. 5. Identifies and preserves her family name for generation to come. Create and Control her PCF As a Private Family Foundation it is created with a charitable \"intent.\" The Foundation is managed by a Trustee; that oversees the Foundation's investments and distributes the Foundation's Assets. HELEN MARTIN HARMAN, is the Owner of THE SALKE FOUNDATION, this way, she maintain control over the assets contained in the Foundation. Instead of making a one-time gift to a public charity; and losing control of that gift, she will monitor her favourite charities. If one non-profit changes its focus, or if a more meaningful cause comes along, she can reallocate your Foundation's support.

ARTICLE II Special Tax Advantages This Private Charitable Foundations have special tax advantages, because it is considered as a \"charitable Foundation\". Because of this classification, any earnings on Foundation Assets are tax- exempt, and can be distribute to the charities of choose. If established properly, this Private Charitable Foundation can often avoid capital gains taxes on highly-appreciated assets. In addition, interest and investment earnings that are not slapped with an income tax can instead be used to help the charities or causes supported. Immediate Tax Benefits WHAREAS; the Owner, herein mentioned above has highly-appreciated assets that are in holding to avoid steep capital gains taxes, a Private Charitable Foundation could help. Any appreciated assets that are transfer to this Private Charitable Foundation can be sold by the Foundation with no capital gains taxes. This is because of the Foundation's charitable status. In so saying; every thing can be bought under the name of this Private Charitable Foundation, and sell at a higher price and pay not Taxes. WHEREAS; The Foundation purchase a house for USD 275,000, do a little refurbishing and three weeks later, sells the house for USD 350,000 and pay no Sale Tax. The USD 75,000 can be use for further investments, charities and operation expenses, or transfer to a Trust, etc. Secondly, the Foundation can obtain an immediate tax deduction for any money or property to grant to the Foundation. This deduction can equal up to 30% of the adjusted gross income (20% for appreciated property). Any income tax deduction not used in the contribution year may be carried forward over the next five years. The valuation of these deductions depends on a number of things, including original cost and the type of property being transferred. Estate Tax Benefits Every dollar contributed to this Private Charitable Foundation means one less dollar that is included in foundation Estate. Gifts that are regularly made to charities can instead be used to fund the PCF. And if there is a higher tax bracket, that could ultimately save up to 46% in Estate Taxes.

Best of all, the Owner can make such contributions to their Private Charitable Foundation without affecting the USD12,000 annual Gift Tax exclusion or the current USD1 Million Gift Tax Credit. Required Distributions to Charities WHEREAS; Private Charitable Foundations have certain laws they must abide by, because they are a legal entity. For instance, by Law, a Private Charitable Foundation must distribute at least five percent (5%) of its assets each year to public charities. Let's suppose the Owner leaves USD 2,000,000 to their Private Charitable Foundation. The IRS says that the Owner must distribute at least USD 100,000 (or 5%) to recognised charities in order for the Foundation to qualify for its special tax advantages. Of course, the Owner select a higher payout if willing to do so; hereby the five percent is the absolute minimum. The annual payout is established when first sit down with a qualified Estate Attorney who has experience working with large Estates. And the difference between what the assets earn (e.g. 15% per year) and the mandatory payout can be put back into the Foundation. Employment for the Family WHEREAS; the Owner of the Foundation may arrange for their Heirs and Descendants to receive salaries as \"employees\" of the Foundation. Simply name family members as replacement Successor to succeed after death or resignation. The Foundations shall pay their directors using the difference between their required distributions and their annual income. If the Foundation is earning 15% annually on its assets, but only paying 5% annually to charities, the difference can be distributed for legitimate expenses, including salaries for the Directors of the Foundation and as Investment Vehicles. Ensuring Heirs WHEREAS; charities will definitely benefit from the Foundation, the children are deprived of the donated assets, after Estate Taxes are accounted for. To remedy this situation, some individuals also may choose to establish a Generation-Skipping Dynasty Trust (like The Legacy Trust) to avoid estate taxes for up to three generations. The Legacy Trust, which is an advanced type of Dynasty Trust, also acts as a shield for assets; subject to variations in Law.

When properly drafted and implemented, the Legacy Trust can also help place assets outside the Estate, outside the reach of creditors, judgments, malpractice and divorce. The Legacy Trust can also provide a substantial benefit for the Heirs, particularly through the use of Cash-Rich Life Insurance. After funding The Legacy Trust with annual gifts, it can purchase Insurance payable to the Heirs or to the Trust; as beneficiaries of The Legacy Trust. The children would then receive a lump-sum when the Owner pass away, or have The Legacy Trust support grandchildren and great-grandchildren. All of these benefits are usually 100% Estate Tax- and Income Tax-Free when structured properly. ARTICLE III The Foundation The Private Charitable Foundations can also be combined with Charitable Remainder and Charitable Lead Trusts. By doing so, the Owner may able to draw a significant income for lifetimes and earn significant Tax Savings, while still maintaining a large degree of control on all assets. Be Careful of Those Caveats As with any Estate Planning Strategy, there are drawbacks. There are up- front legal costs that make it prohibitive for many Estates under USD 2-3 Million. This Private Charitable Foundation must also be legitimate, like a real business. The keeping of books and records to show how decisions taken, and establish strict rules prohibiting self-dealing. Salaries must be earned, with enough documentation to show that work was actually performed. There are also potential excise taxes, and significant penalties if the minimum 5% annual distribution is not adhered to. Nonetheless, after seeking professional tax advice, the Owner will be able to meet the objectives through this established Private Charitable Foundation. Statutory Anatomical Gift Act WHEREAS; An anatomical gift of all or part of the body may be made by will. The gift becomes effective upon the death of the testator without waiting for probate. If the will is not probated or if it is declared invalid for testamentary purposes, the gift, to the extent that it has been acted upon in good faith, is nevertheless valid and effective.

An anatomical gift of all or part of the body may also be made by a document of gift other than a will. A \"document of gift\" means a document other than a will. Unless the gift is deemed medically unsuitable, the gift becomes effective and irrevocable upon the death of the donor and does not require the consent or concurrence of any Other person after the donor's death. WHEREAS; The document of gift, which may be a card designed to be carried on the person, must be signed by the donor. If the donor cannot sign, the document of gift may be signed for him at his direction and in his presence and in the presence of two witnesses who must sign the document in his presence. Delivery of the document of gift during the donor's lifetime is not necessary to make the gift valid. The gift may be made to a specified donee or an unspecified donee. If the gift is made by the donor to a specified donee, the document of gift or an executed copy thereof may be delivered to the donee to expedite the appropriate procedures immediately after death. Delivery is not necessary to the validity of the gift. If the document of gift or an executed copy thereof has been delivered to a specified donee, the donor may amend or revoke the gift by: The execution and delivery to the donee of a signed statement; An oral statement made in the presence of two persons and communicated to the donee; A statement during a terminal illness or injury, which statement is addressed to an attending physician and communicated to the donee; or A signed card or document found on his person or in his effects. Any document of gift which has not been delivered to the donee may be revoked by the donor in the manner set out above or by the destruction, cancellation, or mutilation of the document and all executed copies of the document.

Conflict of Interest and Compensation 1. Purpose The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect this tax-exempt Foundation's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction

or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the Foundation or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable Foundations. 2. Definitions a. Interested Person Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person. Hospital Insert – for hospitals that complete the Foundation's principles, objectives and social interest. If a person is an interested person with respect to any entity in the health care system of which the Foundation is a part, he or she is an interested person with respect to all entities in the health care system. b. Financial Interest 23. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family. 1.

In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. b.

The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. 3. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. 4. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Organization’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. 26. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy 1. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

2. If, after hearing the member’s response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. 27. Records of Proceedings The minutes of the governing board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain: a. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. b.
