Matching Gifts 

Many employers match their employees’ charitable gifts. Use our Matching Gift search to see if your employer will match your gift to ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ. 

Gifts of Grain 

Farmers can use their harvest to help support Nebraska Wesleyan by donating a portion of your grain harvest. You can receive a substantial tax advantage by donating grain to ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ since the donated grain never hits income or deductions on tax returns. This simple process requires two steps. 

1. You give the commodity to ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ (with evidence of transfer of title to the University).
2. ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ promptly sells the commodity, never storing it. That means your gift of grain will have the most impact if you make it while markets are high. 

¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ must receive the grain in its own account and sell it in order to preserve your tax benefits. If you sell the grain and transfer the proceeds, it is a taxable sale and a cash contribution to ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ. 

¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ has accounts with 11 co-ops serving 184 Nebraska communities, though the list is growing. Virtually anywhere you farm, you can support ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ through the Gift of Grain Program. Current participating co-ops include: 

• Ag Valley
• All Points Cooperative
• Aurora Cooperative
• Cargill
• Farmers Cooperative
• Farmers Cooperative Company
• Farmers Union Co-op
• Frenchman Valley Co-op
• Midwest Farmers Co-op
• Scoular
• United Farmers Cooperative 

If you don’t see your co-op on the list, contact Susy Miller at smiller4 [at] nebrwesleyan.edu (smiller4[at]nebrwesleyan[dot]edu) or (402) 465-2188. We’ll contact your co-op and find out if we can add them to list of participating partners, even if you farm outside Nebraska.

Become a volunteer, serve on a reunion team, connect with current students or support Nebraska Wesleyan on social media.
