Gift of Grain Program

Now farmers can use their harvest to help keep good students right here in Nebraska. Donate a portion of your harvest through Nebraska Wesleyan’s Gift of Grain Program.

A stronger NWU gives young Nebraskans an excellent reason to stay in their home state: an outstanding, affordable education built for their success.

How to give grain—and reap tax benefits

You can receive a substantial tax advantage by donating grain to Nebraska Wesleyan University since the donated grain never hits income or deductions on tax returns. This simple strategy requires two steps.

  1. You give the commodity to NWU (with evidence of transfer of title to the university).
  2. NWU 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.

NWU 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 NWU.

Your elevator manager can help you transfer grain to Nebraska Wesleyan’s account. Or just contact us when you make your gift so it can be sold the same day. All you need to do is call or email Susy Miller.
