  The issuance of a qualified charitable gift annuity does not constitute engaging in the business of insurance in this state.   A charitable gift annuity issued before July 1, 2001, is a qualified charitable gift annuity for purposes of Sections 79-11-651 through 79-11-661, and the issuance of that charitable gift annuity does not constitute engaging in the business of insurance in this state.

  When entering into an agreement for a qualified charitable gift annuity, the charitable organization shall disclose to the donor in writing in the annuity agreement that a qualified charitable gift annuity is not insurance under the laws of this state and is not subject to regulation by the insurance commissioner or protected by an insurance guaranty association.   The notice provisions required by this section must be in a separate paragraph in a print size no smaller than that employed in the annuity agreement generally.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 79 - Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships|Chapter 11 - Nonprofit, Nonshare Corporations and Religious Societies|Charitable Gift Annuities|§ 79-11-659. Effect of failure to provide required notice

 The failure of a charitable organization to comply with the notice requirements imposed under Section 79-11-655 or 79-11-657 does not prevent a charitable gift annuity that otherwise meets the requirements of 79-11-651 through 79-11-661 from constituting a qualified charitable gift annuity. The Secretary of State may enforce performance of the requirements of Sections 79-11-655 and 79-11-657 by sending a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, demanding that the charitable organization comply with the requirements of Sections 79-11-655 and 79-11-657. The Secretary of State may fine the charitable organization in an amount not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per qualified charitable gift annuity agreement issued until such time as the charitable organization complies with Sections 79-11-655 and 79-11-657.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 79 - Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships|Chapter 11 - Nonprofit, Nonshare Corporations and Religious Societies|Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act|§ 79-11-707. Appropriation for expenditure or accumulation of endowment fund; rules of construction

  Subject to the intent of a donor expressed in the gift instrument or to any express written agreement between a donor and an institution, an institution may appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as the institution determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established. Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in an endowment fund are donor-restricted assets until appropriated for expenditure by the institution. In making a determination to appropriate or accumulate, the institution shall act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and shall consider, if relevant, the following factors:   The duration and preservation of the endowment fund;   The purposes of the institution and the endowment fund;   General economic conditions;   The possible effect of inflation or deflation;   The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments;   Other resources of the institution; and   The investment policy of the institution.     In order to limit the authority to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate under subsection (1) of this section, a gift instrument must specifically state the limitation.   Terms in a gift instrument designating a gift as an endowment, or a direction or authorization in the gift instrument to use only "income," "interest," "dividends," or "rents, issues, or profits," or "to preserve the principal intact," or words of similar import:   Create an endowment fund of permanent duration unless other language in the gift instrument limits the duration or purpose of the fund; and   Do not otherwise limit the authority to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate under subsection (1) of this section.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 79 - Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships|Chapter 11 - Nonprofit, Nonshare Corporations and Religious Societies|Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act|§ 79-11-709. Delegation of management and investment

  Except as otherwise provided in a gift instrument or by law other than Sections 79-11-701 through 79-11-719, an institution may delegate to an external agent the management and investment of an institutional fund to the extent that an institution could prudently delegate under the circumstances. An institution shall act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, in:   Selecting an agent;   Establishing the scope and terms of the delegation, consistent with the purposes of the institution and the institutional fund; and   Periodically reviewing the agent's actions in order to monitor the agent's performance and compliance with the scope and terms of the delegation.     In performing a delegated function, an agent owes a duty to the institution to exercise reasonable care to comply with the scope and terms of the delegation.   Absent gross negligence, wantonness, recklessness, or deliberate misconduct, an institution that complies with subsection (1) of this section is not liable for the decisions or actions of an agent to which the function was delegated.   By accepting delegation of a management or investment function from an institution that is subject to the laws of this state, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state in all proceedings arising from or related to the delegation or the performance of the delegated function.   An institution may delegate management and investment functions to its committees, officers, or employees as otherwise authorized by law.

  If the donor consents in a record, an institution may release or modify, in whole or in part, a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the management, investment, or purpose of an institutional fund. A release or modification may not allow a fund to be used for a purpose other than a charitable purpose of the institution.   The court, upon application of an institution, may modify a restriction contained in a gift instrument regarding the management or investment of an institutional fund if the restriction has become impracticable or wasteful, if it impairs the management or investment of the fund, or if, because of circumstances not anticipated by the donor, a modification of a restriction will further the purposes of the fund. To the extent practicable, any modification must be made in accordance with the donor's probable intention.   If a particular charitable purpose or a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the use of an institutional fund becomes unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve, or wasteful, the court, upon application of an institution, may modify the purpose of the fund or the restriction on the use of the fund in a manner consistent with the charitable purposes expressed in the gift instrument.   An application to the court under subsection (2) or (3) of this section shall be made in the name of the institution to the chancery court of the county in which the principal activities of the institution are conducted.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 79 - Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships|Chapter 13 - Uniform Partnership Act (1997)|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 79-13-102. Knowledge and notice

 A person knows a fact if the person has actual knowledge of it.   A person has notice of a fact if the person:    Knows of it;   Has received a notification of it; or   Has reason to know it exists from all of the facts known to the person at the time in question.    A person notifies or gives a notification to another by taking steps reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person learns of it.   A person receives a notification when the notification:   Comes to the person's attention; or   Is duly delivered at the person's place of business or at any other place held out by the person as a place for receiving communications.   Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f), a person other than an individual knows, has notice, or receives a notification of a fact for purposes of a particular transaction when the individual conducting the transaction knows, has notice, or receives a notification of the fact, or in any event when the fact would have been brought to the individual's attention if the person had exercised reasonable diligence. The person exercises reasonable diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the individual conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Reasonable diligence does not require an individual acting for the person to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual's regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information.   A partner's knowledge, notice, or receipt of a notification of a fact relating to the partnership is effective immediately as knowledge by, notice to, or receipt of a notification by the partnership, except in the case of a fraud on the partnership committed by or with the consent of that partner.
