Planned Giving
Planned Giving Planned giving involves a gift made in the context of the donor's total financial and estate planning. Here, the gift of an asset through a specific method provides benefits to you as a donor as well as to the alumni association. For example, planned giving:
- Provides gift plans that benefit you and your family.
- Brings immediate and deferred tax advantages to both you and your heirs.
- Has a meaningful impact on our mission, beyond your lifetime and far into the future.
- Allows you to make an unrestricted gift or designate it for a specific alumni program or purpose.
Is the association named as a beneficiary in your estate? If so, please let us know by contacting Bob Stelter. Alumni and friends who express their loyalty through a planned gift to the alumni association are "perpetuating memories and benefits," as our association’s founders have said. and as donors John and Gloria Strope have exemplified.
The beautiful Milton I. Wick Alumni Center was constructed more than 20 years ago with the philanthropic contributions of many alumni and friends. A major gift with a special naming opportunity represents real progress in securing our future while allowing you to leave a legacy appropriately recognizing you, your company or someone you wish to honor or memorialize.
Thank you to the 1874 Society members for giving generously in support of the Nebraska Alumni Association's mission. The 1874 Society is now closed. If you are interested in joining an association giving society, please consider the new Hail Varsity Society.
