Year-End Giving, Your Way

Consider the Greater Grand Island Community Foundation in Your Year-End Giving 

As this year comes to a close (we know — it’s hard to believe!), we kindly ask you to consider the Greater Grand Island Community Foundation in your year-end giving. 

The Greater Grand Island Community Foundation is your trusted, local charitable partner, connecting people who care with causes that matter. We help donors make a lasting difference close to home and turn their passions into purpose by investing in projects and organizations that strengthen Grand Island and Hall County communities today and for generations to come. 

Giving to, with, or through GGICF is versatile — both in how gifts can be made and how they are used to benefit our community. Whether your passion is education, the arts, basic human needs, or community development, the Foundation can help you make a meaningful impact. 

Avenues for Giving: 

  • Outright Gifts: Make a gift of cash, check, or appreciated securities to a fund of your choosing before year-end for an immediate charitable deduction. You can access the GGICF giving hub to see all fund options at https://gicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate 
  • Donor-Advised Funds: Establish or add to a fund that allows you to distribute dollars to grants for community nonprofits you care about. 
  • Field of Interest Funds: Support a specific area of charitable interest, such as youth programs, education, health, or the arts, while the Foundation ensures grants go to the organizations and projects making an impact in that field. 
  • Fund for Greater Grand Island: Contribute to unrestricted funds that, with proactivity and versatility, allow the Foundation to meet the community’s most pressing and emerging needs.  
  • Honorary or Memorial Gifts: Celebrate or remember someone special through a gift that benefits the community. 
  • Legacy Gifts: Include the Foundation in your estate or retirement plans to create a lasting legacy that continues your charitable vision for the future of our communities.  

By giving to, with, or through the Greater Grand Island Community Foundation, you have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact and help make our community the best place for everyone to live, work, and play. The GGICF team is happy to assist you in exploring your giving options and finding the approach that best fits your goals and passions. Send us an email, give us a call, or stop by; we’d love to visit with you!
