Northeast Community College Foundation is registered with the IRS Department of the Treasury (EIN: 51-0145185) and is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
With careful planning, charitable gifts of certain types of assets will provide even greater tax benefits to a donor than a gift of the equivalent value in cash. The most favorable tax benefits derive from contributions of appreciated, long-term, capital gain securities, and real estate. In addition to receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value of such a gift, the donor avoids any potential tax on the capital gain element of the gifted property.
For specific information about your situation, we recommend that you consult your financial and legal advisors. In the meantime, our brief descriptions may help you choose a direction.

Instructions for Stock Transfers to Northeast Community College Foundation.
Contact the Foundation at (402) 844-7240 regarding the designation of the proceeds from the securities.
-
Real Estate
Donating appreciated real estate or land allows a donor to deduct the property's fair market value while avoiding capital gains taxes.
-
Commodities
When transferring legal ownership of grain or livestock before the commodity is sold, the producer is able to deduct the entire cost of the production of the commodity, thus minimizing taxes. Depending on the producer's specific circumstances, savings may be realized on federal and state income taxes as well as self-employment taxes.
The Northeast Community College Foundation depends on donations from private citizens and businesses to provide scholarships and other funding for Northeast students and the College. Not all the contributions, however, are cash. “In-kind giving” refers to contributions of goods and services that are of value to a nonprofit organization.
A donor determines the value of a gift through an appraisal, record of purchase or other means. All gifts are reviewed and acknowledged, and Northeast Community College Foundation reserves the right to decline any gift.
Memorials or honorary gifts can be used to provide special recognition of a person.
If you wish to notify the honoree or his or her family of your thoughtful gift, please provide contact information when you make your gift. The amount of the gift is not disclosed, and your gift is fully tax-deductible as provided by law.
