Legacy Society

Become part of the Nebraska Community Foundation Legacy Society and leave a lasting impression on the lives that follow.

Be remembered for your kindness

Whether you think of yourself as rich or poor or somewhere in between, your gift to your community will make a lasting impression. The “Good Life” we cherish in Nebraska is worth preserving and passing on to the next generation.

Think of your community as family

Here in Nebraska we are proud of our hometowns. Your planned gift continues that tradition of investing in the future. You can provide for both your family and your community. There are also gifts that have immediate tax benefits and ensure that you or a loved one receives income payments for life, with the promise of a future charitable gift. 

Create your personal Legacy

The Nebraska Community Foundation helps people plan charitable gifts to their hometowns and favorite organizations. Together we are “endowing” the future. An endowment is a permanent charitable fund whose assets are invested to generate an ongoing source of income year after year.  That means your gift, and your legacy, will last for generations.

  • As a Legacy Society member you are invited to attend and be recognized at our Annual Banquet and Awards Celebration.
  • With your permission, your name is published each year in our annual report.
