Why Join?

1. Strengthen Your Community. Nonprofits play a vital role in our community's social, economic, and cultural wellbeing. Your pledge helps build future resources that will strengthen your community for future generations.

2. Leave a Legacy. Create a meaningful and lasting legacy in your name by using your pledge to support nonprofits that represent your life's work, passions, and values.

3. Pledge Now, Give Later. Because the charity is a beneficiary of your retirement/investment account, you still have full access to your funds during your retirement years when you need it the most. After you are gone, the charity will receive 5% of the remaining account balance, making it a win-win!

4. Save on Taxes. Naming a charitable beneficiary in your retirement or other investment accounts is easy to do and may result in substantial tax savings for your heirs and estate. Because charities do not pay income tax, the charity will also receive the full contribution amount.

5. Inspire Others. Generosity is contagious! When you give to causes you are excited about, it inspires others to do the same. Together, we can do more for our community!

I chose to join the Give Back 5 community giving pledge because I love Hyllningsfest and Lindsborg! I want Hyllningfest to go on for even more generations to enjoy and show the entire world that we are truly the "greatest square mile" in every aspect.

I see first-hand how impactful charitable giving can be for individuals and communities. Committing 5% of your retirement assets to charity is a way of ensuring that the causes you care about continue to make an impact.

We're giving back five because we believe in investing in the future of Salina and want the programs that our children are involved in to be available for the next generation!
