Memorials

Gifts to memorialize or to honor a loved one or a special friend is a way to make a gift that can last for generations to come. While at the same time, this type of gift can be very satisfying.
In addition to outright gifts of cash, memorial giving can be accomplished with a bequest in a will, living trust or as a beneficiary designation of a financial account. Many people find such a gift to be very satisfying and meaningful way to memorialize or to honor their family or loved one.

In addition, some families have made arrangements with the staff of the Nebraska Community Foundation to establish and place gifts into a donor-advised fund that honors the family and its ties to the community. In this way the family can participate together in the charitable gifting decisions and the family name remains alive for future generations as annual gifts are made from the account.
