Among the many fans of Fort Hays State University, Jim and Sherry Dibble of Hays are two of the most loyal supporters. Both FHSU alumni, the Dibbles can be found cheering at any number of athletic events throughout the year or attending one of the Encore Series performances or Department of Music and Theater productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nthese two spirited fans, who met during their time on campus, go beyond just\nattending events. They have generously supported Fort Hays State for 40\nconsecutive years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\nare Encore Series program sponsors, long-time members of Tiger Club and of the\nmost elite group of donors to the athletic department, the FHSU Athletic\nDifference Makers. Recently, they decided to take their philanthropy one step\nfurther. The Dibbles are 1972 and 1973 graduates of FHSU who have taken\nadvantage of the Charitable IRA Rollover and designated the funds to go to a\nseries of scholarships for Fort Hays State students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWe\nbelieve that without the education that we got from Fort Hays State, we\nwouldn\u2019t be able to do what we\u2019re doing today,\u201d Jim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nthe Dibbles discovered the Charitable IRA Rollover, they found it to be a\nperfect match for their needs, saying, \u201cAfter learning more about the\nCharitable IRA Rollover and how easy it was, we\u2019ve decided to give a percentage\nof our estate to FHSU now so we can see the impact of our gifts throughout\ncampus and enjoy meeting some of our scholarship recipients while we\u2019re still\nliving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donors\nat least 70.5 years old can use their IRA rollover to support FHSU with a gift\nup to $100,000. It\u2019s easy, 100% tax free, and can reduce the amount of their\ntaxable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nof the Dibbles\u2019 favorite parts about the IRA rollover gift is that it allowed\nthem to choose specific areas of campus that they wanted to support. The Dibble\nfamily had the opportunity to choose not only what kind of scholarships they\nwanted to create, but also who would be eligible to receive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDibbles established scholarships that will support the reading department in\nhonor of Sherry\u2019s mother, who earned two degrees in elementary education from\nFHSU; to the music department because of their enjoyment of music; to the\nnursing department because their daughter and daughter-in-law are nurses; one\nin business and finance, from where Jim received his degree at FHSU and in\nhonor of their son, a financial advisor, who assisted with the IRA rollover\nprocess; and one to the agriculture department since Jim grew up on a farm with\na strong appreciation and love for agriculture, as well as his 41.5 year career\nat Farm Credit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most\npeople want to leave this Earth having made a positive and lasting impact.\nMembers of the Fort Hays State Tiger family have the unique opportunity to\nlower their taxes while creating a legacy at FHSU through the Charitable IRA\nRollover. A gift of this kind may qualify as a required minimum distribution,\npermitting a reduction on income and taxes for this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDibbles are making an incredible \u2013 and visible \u2013 impact on FHSU students who\nrely on scholarships to complete their education<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s\ngood to give while you can see the results,\u201d Jim said, \u201cand the Charitable IRA\nRollover is a great benefit that people need to take advantage of. It\u2019s a\nwin-win situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
