Support TeamMates
Help us to Change our Community -- One Child at a Time
Today close to 4,000 children are being served by a TeamMates adult mentor throughout Nebraska and Iowa. Spending one hour a week with a steady and caring adult is making all the difference in the decisions they make today, and for the future.It costs approximately $500 to match a volunteer adult with a child. We need your help to continue to match adults with the many children who need them. TeamMates Mentoring Program relies on the support of individuals, foundations and corporations to fund the TeamMates program. Please consider a gift of support today.
With your help we can reach our goal of mentoring 10,000 children throughout Nebraska and Iowa by the year 2015. There are thousands of children who have a void in their lives. Connecting with them early on helps to fill that void with positive influences so they won't make bad choices. Please help us to continue to making a positive impact on our community, one child at a time, through mentoring.

Creative Ways To Give
1. An outright gift of cash - Gifts of cash enable income tax deductions of up to 50% of adjusted gross income with a five-year, carry forward period for the excess.
2. An outright gift of securities - Gifts of highly appreciated stock may lower the actual cost of the gift and allow you to dispose of a non-performing asset without paying capital gains tax.
3. An outright gift of real estate - Most real estate has appreciated faster than the rate of inflation and offers great potential in charitable gift planning. A second residence, vacation property, condominium and underdeveloped land are examples of viable gift properties.
4. A gift in trust - Charitable remainder trusts offer creative opportunities for donors to realize corresponding tax benefits, while retaining an income stream for life. Two highly structured plans which could be created and tailored to your specific situation are the charitable remainder annuity trust and charitable remainder unitrust.
5. A gift of personal residence or farm with a retained life estate - It is possible to transfer ownership of your personal residence or a farm to TeamMates, while retaining the enjoyment of the property during lifetime. This may be an excellent way to support the hospital, receive current income tax deduction for the property's discounted value, and continue to use the property for s long as you live.
6. A gift of an income stream - A charitable lead trust allows TeamMates to receive annual income for a specified period while permitting the donor to transfer income producing assets to heirs as a discounted tax rate.
For further information regarding any of the above gift options, please contact TeamMates at (402) 390-8326 for a confidential, no obligation appointment or telephone consultation.
