Most gifts to the Bryan Foundation are given in the form of cash, usually by credit card or check.
Please make checks payable to the Bryan Foundation.
You may designate your gift for a specific department, program or project of particular interest to you. Just include a note indicating where you would like the funds to go. Or, you may leave your gift undesignated, allowing the Board of Directors the flexibility to use your gift in an area of greatest need.

Beyond Expectations
Patients and family members often want to recognize the caring and compassion provided by a healthcare worker or a helpful volunteer. A Beyond Expectations award and gift in their honor is a wonderful way to show your gratitude. In each case, the Foundation team presents the recipient with a special pin and your note of thanks. You may designate the funds to any area of your choosing.
Honor a Caregiver
Honor and remember those who have passed away, while supporting quality health care provided at Bryan Health. You may establish a memorial that goes toward any area or entity. Both you and the person in memoriam will be listed online and in onsite displays. We also take great pride in notifying, when possible, immediate members of the deceased individual's family regarding your generous gift. You can mail memorial gifts to 1600 S. 48th Street, Lincoln, NE 68506-1299, checks payable to Bryan Foundation. In the memo, please write the name of the person in memoriam.

Giving through appreciated securities (stocks, mutual funds, etc.) is a popular alternative to a cash gift because it actually saves you taxes twice. You not only receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of your securities (assuming you've held them for more than one year), but you also avoid any capital gains tax on the appreciation. You may also realize substantial estate and gift tax benefits.
Gifts of Closely Held Stock
If you have closely held stock, take advantage of special gift opportunities. These gift plans are designed and evaluated individually with you, your appropriate advisors and Bryan Foundation legal counsel. Special legal issues and stock marketability are important factors in the evaluation.

Benefit yourself as well as Bryan Health by making gifts of real estate. These gifts vary from condominiums to farmland. As with other appreciated property, a gift of real estate can unlock the full value of your property and offer you specific economic advantages while providing lasting benefits to Bryan Health. The Bryan Foundation carefully evaluates each potential gift to ensure it will enhance Bryan Health's mission. Marketability of the property usually is a key consideration.
