Dear Friends,
Thank you for your commitments of time, expertise and
philanthropic support for the Darla Moore School of Business.
Your active engagement invigorates our students, faculty
and staff, and with your involvement we have been able to
build on the progress of recent years. Together, our shared
accomplishments are a source of pride for all of us associated
with the Moore School. Notable milestones we’ve reached with
your help include:
• Opening our new building, which will dramatically change
the way we deliver business education. This building will also
prove, I believe, to be an important inflection point for the
school, changing how the school views itself, and how others
view the school.
• Continuing to gain recognition as leaders in the areas of
International Business, Global Supply Chain and Risk &
Uncertainty Management.
• Welcoming the largest freshman class in the school’s history,
and the largest undergraduate cohort of any college on the
USC Columbia campus.
I sense a great optimism both internally and externally about the
future of our school. On behalf of the entire Darla Moore School
of Business, thank you for being a part of this momentum. We
are a better institution because of you.
Peter Brews
Dean, Darla Moore School of Business
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Business Partnership Foundation, thank you for your support during the
2013-2014 fiscal year. The BPF was created to promote excellence at the Darla Moore School of
Business, and we are grateful for your contributions toward sustaining that promise first made
more than 45 years ago.
During the last fiscal year:
• Our endowment increased 23.2% to $48,408,771. The endowment provided $546,580
to support scholarships, professorships and other initiatives at the school. The endowment
provides a continuous source of vital funding that will sustain the school for years to come.
• A total of $7,330,617 was raised in new cash and commitments to directly benefit the school.
All gifts, regardless of size, are appreciated and are used to benefit students and faculty directly
at the school.
• A total of $59,649,593 was raised for the Carolina’s Promise capital campaign through the
end of June 2014. The campaign concludes on June 30, 2015, and all gifts raised through the
end of the fiscal year will be counted.
The Business Partnership Foundation allows the school to be innovative and dynamic, and that
is why your continued support is critical to our continued success. The trustees of the Business
Partnership Foundation Board are committed to being good stewards of your philanthropic
support, and we thank you for the many ways you support the Moore School.

What is an endowment,
and why is it important?
An endowment is an investment in the
future of the Darla Moore School of
Business. It is a permanent gift that provides
one of the most secure sources of future
revenue for the school to continue its cutting
edge research and provide vital support for
students, faculty and programs.
Endowments are the most lasting way a
donor can give. They forever benefit the
mission of the school and ensure excellence
in perpetuity.
2
How do endowments work?
Endowment funds are managed to provide
a permanent source of income to support
the educational mission of the school.
The endowment, a set of pooled assets, is
generally composed of many individual
funds and is invested in a purposeful and
accountable manner to generate income that
will:
• Honor the donors’ intended purposes for
their gifts
• Support the operating budget of the
institution
• Be reinvested to protect the value of the
endowment against inflation
How do I create an
endowment?
It’s simple. Contact the Moore School
Advancement Office at 803.777.4645, and
we will draft a brief Gift Agreement that will
govern your gift according to your wishes.
You can designate your endowment for a
specific purpose as long as it is consistent
with university policy and state and federal
laws. Once a gift is accepted, the conditions
of the gift are followed in perpetuity.
Endowments may be funded with cash,
securities and deferred gifts at any time.
How is the spending
allocation determined?
Once your endowment is fully funded and
invested for at least one fiscal year, an annual
spending allocation will be calculated for your
fund. Waiting at least one fiscal year allows
your endowment to earn investment returns to
support spending and enhance the probability
of an annual increase in the amount available
to spend from your endowment. If, during the
first year of eligibility, the investment return of
the endowed gift does not exceed the original
amount, then no initial spending allocation is
allowed.
The annual spending allocation is based on
a predetermined rate applied to the average
balance of your endowment. The current
spending rate is 4.5 percent. The average
balance of your endowment is calculated
using the previous three year-end balances.
This averaging helps smooth the effects of
market fluctuations. Investment return in
excess of the spending allocation is retained
within the endowment, increasing its size over
time and, therefore, increasing the amount
of support generated for the donor’s specified
program.
I can’t thank you enough for supporting the
Moore School. This world-class organization
wouldn’t be what it is without you. I’m proud to
be a part of this excellent tradition, and I’m so
grateful for people like you who make it possible.
- Ryan, Honors College, International
Business/Global Supply Chain and Operations Management, 2016
Thank you so much for your donation to the
Moore School. It is so amazing to be able to study
here! I appreciate not only this building, but
also your belief in the students of USC and our
education. It is people like you who make a good
education possible for so many different types of
people. Again, thank you!
- Savannah, International Business/
Management, 2017
Truly, you’ve made an important step in someone’s life possible with your gift. For that, you
deserve the utmost appreciation. Please continue
to impact lives with the gift of education, experience and opportunity. Without you, my education
would be a financial burden that would have
stood in the way of future opportunities. Thank
you so much!
- Shadi, Marketing/Finance, 2015

How does the market affect
my endowment account?
“As one of the nation’s
premier business
schools, the Darla Moore
School of Business has
a tremendous impact
on the economic vitality
of our state. And its
strength in international
business means many
of its graduates are
shaping the economic
future of our world. I
am proud to be part
of the Building Moore
campaign, and I
invite you to join me
in taking the Moore
School to new levels of
excellence.”
- The Honorable Jim
Hodges, Darla Moore
School of Business
Campaign Chair

The amount of earnings added to the fund
fluctuates with the market. Although the
portfolio is well diversified, some investments
might occasionally lose value. The spread of the
investment allocation helps to compensate for
losses by a particular style of investment and
takes advantage of earnings that can be realized
when an investment style is in favor with the
market.
Endowed funds have a substantial and
important impact on Moore School faculty
and students. To ensure that future generations
continue to receive the wonderful benefit of a
donor’s generosity, the following vehicles will
help grow an endowment:
Cash
Additional contributions may be added to
an endowed fund by anyone at any time.
Honorary and/or memorial gifts may be
directed to a fund to increase the principal.
Gifts may also be made directly to the annual
spendable amount to increase the benefit for
any given year(s).
Matching Gift
Many companies have matching gift programs
available to employees. These matches increase
the overall impact of a personal gift. Questions
about matching gifts should be directed to
803.777.5983.
Stock Gift
A contribution of long-term appreciated
securities, either publicly traded or from a
closely held company, may provide greater tax
advantages than a gift of cash. You may deduct
the current fair market value as a charitable gift
and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation.
Questions about gifts of stock should be
directed to 803.777.4645.
Planned Gift
You might wish to consider making a planned
gift that benefits you and the Moore School.
There are many vehicles available that can be
customized to meet your needs. Questions
about planned giving should be directed to the
Office of Planned Giving at 803.777.4196.

The Darla Moore School of Business’
new building has generated significant
buzz since it opened its doors in
August, both for its striking appearance
and for the ways it promises to
transform business education.
Drawing on extensive input from
students, faculty, staff and the business
community about how space can
be configured to optimize business
education, the $106.5-million building
is the university’s most ambitious
construction project to date.
While the building is accelerating
the school’s ability to produce the
business leaders of the future, many
of its most notable features also
celebrate the school’s rich history and,
in particular, the donors and business
leaders who have contributed to its
success. As students climb the stairs
to the building’s main entrance, they
emerge into the Charles S. Way, Jr.
Palmetto Court. From there, they can
enter the Sonoco Pavilion, the Dr.
Olin S. Pugh Trading Room or the
SCANA Study Commons. Downstairs
on the classroom level, the 500-seat
state-of-the-art W. W. Hootie Johnson
Performance Hall serves both the
Moore School and the USC School of
Music.
With its many sustainable features, the
building is targeting LEED Platinum
certification, making it a model for
sustainable architecture and sustainable
business practices. Its open and flexible
design facilitates enhanced interaction
and collaboration among faculty
and students and makes the building
an inviting hub for community
engagement. In these and other ways,
the building is a physical embodiment
of the Moore School’s commitment
to forward-thinking leadership for the
business community.
Not surprisingly, this exciting new
space has created increased energy
among Moore School faculty and
students. That makes this a pivotal
time in the school’s history—a time
when private support can have an even
greater impact than usual, as it adds to
the tremendous sense of purpose and
momentum shared among members
of the Moore School community as
they explore all the possibilities their
new space affords. Just as the new
building creates new opportunities for
innovative teaching and diverse ways
of learning, it also creates exceptional
opportunities for donors to play a
role in shaping the school’s future for
generations to come.

The Moore School’s Young Alumni Council
All great business schools have deeply engaged alumni. The Darla Moore School
of Business has added more than 7,000 undergraduate alumni during the last
decade and is making an increased emphasis on engaging this next generation
of investors. In January 2014, the Young Alumni Council was created to deepen
the connections between recent graduates and the school, by promoting unique
social and networking opportunities in an effort to build a culture of robust
involvement and philanthropy.
The council is made up of 14 alumni from the Columbia area, with plans to
expand its reach beyond Columbia in the coming year.
The Young Alumni Council is part of the Moore School’s comprehensive strategy
to build strong ties with an informed, involved and invested alumni body. From
providing job and internship opportunities, to mentoring and guest lecturing, to
making financial commitments, an active alumni base makes the school a better
place for current and future students.
“Young alumni represent our school’s future and have great enthusiasm for being
a part of the school’s success,” said Moore School campaign coordinator Susan
Wheeler, “and we need to engage their excitement and energy for the benefit of
the school.”
To learn more about the Young Alumni
Council or about other ways you can get
involved, please contact Susan Wheeler
at susan.wheeler@moore.sc.edu.
12
Gabe Cossio (BS ’11), the inaugural chair of the council, adds that young
alumni owe it to themselves and their fellow Moore School graduates to be active
participants in the life of the school. “We all need to be active stewards of the
school’s future. That means giving back of time, talent and treasure.”
Each member of the council signed a pledge to make a financial commitment
annually and will be asking their peers to do the same. The active participation of
all alumni is critical to our school’s future and we invite you to be a part of this
progress and to move forward with us.
Dean’s Initiatives
The Moore School Carolina Fund, which provides the dean with the greatest flexibility in
allocating funds, is made up of unrestricted gifts from the Darla Moore School of Business’
dedicated alumni and friends. Gifts to this fund allow Dean Brews and the faculty to
immediately enhance the educational experience for our students by bolstering our college’s
programs, faculty and facilities. Your gifts allow us to be nimble in response to new market
conditions, to attract and retain the best faculty, to provide outstanding experiences both in and
out of the classroom—in short, to create the margin of excellence that sets the Moore School
apart.
Gifts to the Moore School Carolina Fund are among the most important and valuable forms of
support to the school, because they can be used where the need is greatest.
Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference. We know that many of our alumni, especially
young alumni, are starting new jobs, buying houses and starting families. Therefore, the Moore
School values participation as much as the size of the gift.
Gifts at Work
Gifts to the Moore School Carolina
Fund allow alumni and friends to
provide some of the following:
• Scholarships and fellowships,
so that we can attract the best
students to our programs.
• Faculty support in order to
retain top teaching talent.
• Out-of-classroom experiences
that enhance the student
experience, like internships,
study abroad and applied
research.
