PRESIDENT‟S PODIUM
Dear Friends:
Greetings! As the new president of the Lexington Community
Foundation Board for the next two years, my first privilege is to thank Dan
Clark for his steady and strong leadership on the LCF Board as he moves
into the past-president position.
Twenty-seven years ago, Joe and I very deliberately chose to move to
Lexington. We had choices; other medical clinics in Nebraska and Iowa
were recruiting him, but we decided to live here. In 1984, my one concern
was that Lexington was too white. How would our yet-to-be-born children
learn about living with all kinds of people if everyone looked, spoke and
dressed the same? For 27 years, we have watched this community grow
and change. When Sperry New Holland closed, we wondered if Lexington
could recover. The farm crisis became more than the evening news; now
we knew names and faces. We celebrated the opening of IBP, now Tyson
Fresh Foods, and not only watched, but participated in working through
challenges that new industry brought with it. We continue to watch our
town grow and blossom in ways we never imagined.
Lexington is filled with dedicated, hard working people who call it
home. It is filled with people who care about living in a town with strong
businesses, schools, parks, churches, libraries, athletic fields, swimming
pools and museums. It is filled with people who have experienced
extreme hardships and want to live and raise their families in a peaceful,
safe place. It is filled with people who care about other people.
In the volunteer world, I believe there are sprinters and marathoners.
Some people push hard for a shorter period of time and others sign up
assuming they‟ve made a lifetime commitment. I‟m a marathoner. This is
my 16th year of serving on the LCF Board and I‟ve spent more years than
that in other volunteer capacities. Organizations need both kinds of
people. So do communities.
The Lexington Community Foundation partners with all of us to
enhance the quality of life for all of us. It has over 50 affiliate funds and
has distributed grants of more than $5.6 million. In this issue of the
Forum, a new way to give, through Gifts of Grain & Livestock, is presented
on pages 4-5. Another new way of giving will occur on November 17,
2011 through Give BIG Lexington … 18 hours of giving on the 17th. Read
about it on pages 6-7. For those of you on Facebook, take a look at page
8. Social media provides a new way of communicating for 750 million
users and now the LCF is a part of that world.
“Giving back to your community” is more than just a phrase; it is a way
of life, a privilege, an obligation. It involves time, money, and attitude.
The LCF Board is grateful that this foundation is, and has been,
generously supported by people who care about people. I‟m going to
continue to volunteer and give. Will you?
Sincerely,
Linda Miller, President

NEW AFFILIATE FUND
A Passion for Paws
Animals leave paw prints on your heart!
Paula Slauter‟s life long passion for animals has turned
into a full time career. Paula started an animal rescue
shelter many years ago from her home at Johnson Lake.
She has been rescuing animals most of her life and has
saved hundreds of them.
Donations received by LCF and directed to Passion for
Paws, are what make it possible for her to care for the
animals that she rescues. Paula is able to care for some
of the animals at her home but has to depend on the
generosity of volunteer foster homes for a lot of the animals until she can find
suitable adoptive families. All of the animals that are adopted are current on their
shots and are spayed or neutered; these services are included in the adoption fees.
If you are interested in volunteering or adopting you can find her on Pet Finder.
Paula has an unwavering passion and love of animals and it shows in her continued
dedication to her cause. For more information on how you can become a
supporter of Passion for Paws contact the Lexington Community Foundation.
Social Media
It‟s not just for kids anymore!
Facebook along with other social media outlets are not a phase and are here to
stay. As of July 2011 Facebook had 750 million users worldwide and statistics
show that 45% of Facebook‟s US audience is now 26 years and older! Facebook
can serve both personal and business needs. LCF has determined we can use a
Facebook Fan Page as a method of keeping in touch with our supporters,
volunteers and donors.
By joining our growing list of fans, you'll be one of the first to know about updates
to the LCF website, new projects or programs, recent articles and pictures.
Joining the LCF Facebook Fan Page is a good way to keep in touch with the latest
information surrounding the foundation and the community.
On our fan page you can offer your comments, support or ideas regarding any of
the projects or programs LCF is working with. This gives you the opportunity to
begin a discussion on an issue important to you or
send a note of encouragement or appreciation to LCF.
Joining our fan page gives you a chance to voice your
opinion, to get answers or inspire change.
Please visit the LCF Facebook Fan Page at

and join us in staying united to improve the quality of
life, strengthen the sense of community and benefit
future generations in Lexington, Nebraska.

Gifts of Grain & Livestock:
Benefits of Gifting Agricultural Commodities
Nebraska farmers and ranchers can save significant taxes by contributing
commodities such as corn or cattle to their community foundation fund instead
of making a cash contribution after selling the commodities.
When an agricultural producer transfers legal ownership of grain or livestock to
a 501(c)(3) charitable organization such as the Lexington Community
Foundation or for the benefit of one of LCF’s affiliated funds before the
commodity is sold, the producer will not realize taxable income from a sale,
thus minimizing taxes. The producer is still able to deduct the entire cost of the
production of the commodity on the producer’s Schedule F. Depending on the
producer’s specific circumstances, savings may be realized on federal and state
income tax and self-employment tax.
For example, a gift of 1,000 bushels of corn when the market price is
$3.00 and the cost of production is $2.00 reduces taxable income by
$3,000 ($3/bushel). The producer still receives a deduction for the costs
of production. A typical farmer who does not itemize deductions on
Schedule A might reduce his federal income tax by $150 (15% X $1,000),
his state income tax by $60 (6% X $1,000) and self-employment (social
security) tax by $141 (15.3% X $1,000 X 92.35%) for a total tax
estimated savings of $351.
The Lexington Community Foundation can help you make a gift of
commodities to benefit your community and get the desired tax treatment.
Most importantly: You must provide written documentation to both LCF and
the grain elevator or sale barn of the transfer of title of the commodity.
(Sample letters are included with this mailing.) The Lexington Community
Foundation must be in control of the sale of the commodity.
A producer should consult with his or her tax advisor to determine whether a
contribution of commodities is appropriate to their tax situation. Give us a call,
we would love to talk with you more about this unique and simple giving
opportunity!
Gifts of Grain
According to Agricultural Tax Advisor, Erlin Weness, "Gifting grain to a
charitable organization can be a very viable and desirable option for cash
method farmers. Farmers cannot claim the commodity gift as an itemized
deduction, but sidestep both the income tax and Social Security tax on donated
commodities by not including them on the Schedule F."
Items to Note:
~ Gifts of grain are usually done in the first part of a year. 2011 grain given
in 2012 needs no adjustment of expenses by the farmer, but 2012 grain given
in 2012 requires the farmer to reduce his deductible expenses by the cost of
raising the gifted grain in 2012.
~ A farmer will gift the grain to the charity and let the charity decide what to
do with it and when to sell it. If the farmer sells it and tells the elevator to
"send the check" to the charity it is NOT a charitable gift.
Please let us know your intentions before you make your grain or livestock
donation by calling Jackie Berke – Executive Director of the Lexington
Community Foundation to discuss arrangements for accepting your gift.

Lexington Community Foundation Helps Residents “GIVE BIG” to Nonprofits November 17
Online campaign aims for biggest day ever of charitable giving in the area.
give BIG lexington
WHY WE CREATED GIVE BIG LEXINGTON
Thursday,
November 17
To inspire generous giving to nonprofits who make
our region a healthier more vital place to live
Increase public awareness of the efforts,
goals and needs of the many organizations
and programs in this area;
Provide opportunities for nonprofits to grow
their giving and for donors to easily support
the causes that mean most to them.
Give BIG Lexington is a new community-wide giving challenge designed
to raise dollars for local nonprofit organizations. Lexington Community
Foundation has established a stretch pool of funds which will provide a
partial match for the funds raised, allowing donors to grow their year-end
gifts.
During this one-day, online event, donations can be made to local
nonprofits through the Lexington Community Foundation websitewww.lexfoundation.org - and a share of every contribution will be
matched with a "stretch pool" of funds provided by the Lexington
Community Foundation. The $50,000 stretch pool includes Key 2011
event funds allocated by the Lexington Community Foundation Board of
Directors to community initiatives.
In addition to the match funds, there will be a bonus grant challenge for
the nonprofit organizations. The top three organizations who receive
donations from the greatest number of unique donors (a donor giving to
the same organization twice would only be counted as one donor) will
receive bonus grants of $2500, $1500 and $1000 respectively. The total
dollars raised is not a consideration for the bonus grants.
Built on successful models from other cities, Give BIG Lexington will
raise money for the community, bring new donors to local nonprofits and
help make our region a more vital place to live. Give BIG Lexington
capitalizes on the growth in online giving and Lexington’s reputation as a
very philanthropic community.
Give BIG Lexington participants can make contributions of any size
through the Lexington Community Foundation’s online Give Big
Lexington page, which includes information about local nonprofit
organizations working in a broad range of areas: Arts & Culture, Basic
Needs, Economy, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness, and
Neighborhoods & Communities.
Give BIG Lexington will be held from 7:00 a.m. until midnight on
Thursday, November 17. Credit/Debit card donations made during this
time will be counted as Give BIG donations and used to calculate
distribution of the stretch pool. The amount of a nonprofit organization’s
share of the stretch pool will be based on the percentage of donations
the nonprofit receives of the total online contributions made through
www.lexfoundation.org on November 17.
Nonprofit organizations can visit the
Foundation’s website to obtain more
information about Give BIG Lexington and to
confirm their organization is included. This
unique initiative will allow donors to find,
learn about and contribute to local
programs that support the causes in which
they believe.

QUESTIONS ABOUT GIVE BIG LEXINGTON
give
BIG
lexington
LEXINGTON
community foundation
What is Give BIG Lexington?
Give BIG Lexington is a one-day online event that
encourages donors to support any of Lexington’s
nonprofit organizations on the same day - November
17 - at the same place - online.
Which nonprofit organizations will be participating?
Any local nonprofit that has created a profile on our
website is eligible to participate.
How will the “stretch pool” work for Give BIG Lexington?
Donations received during the 17-hour Give BIG
Lexington campaign will be eligible to receive up to a
one-to-one dollar match. If the amount of money
raised on November 17 exceeds the $50,000 pool,
the “stretch” will be calculated based on percentage of
contributions raised by each organization compared
to the total dollar amount raised. (For example, if NP
Organization receives $20,000 of the say $85,000
total Give BIG Lexington donations, they will receive
23.5% of the $50,000 stretch pool - or $11,764 in
addition to the $20,0000 raised. For a Giving Day
total of $31,764!)

FLEXIBILITY
Your community foundation can receive many kinds of gifts, including unique assets
such as gifts of grain, livestock and collectibles. The Lexington Community
Foundation can help you and your financial advisor develop a gift plan to meet your
personal financial needs and all of your charitable intentions, now and in the future.
EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
The Lexington Community Foundation and each of its affiliated funds adhere to the
highest standards of professional excellence. We are confirmed in compliance and
have met the Council on Foundations National Standards for operational quality,
donor service and accountability in the community foundation sector.
OBJECTIVITY
Your community foundation distributes charitable dollars and is not the end user.
Unrestricted funds are used to support the community‟s most important needs and
opportunities, while other funds established by donors are designated to benefit our
donors‟ favorite causes. Our sole objective is to facilitate philanthropy and further
develop a habit of giving back to community.
STEWARDSHIP
There is always a chance that a nonprofit organization‟s mission or leadership may,
over time, change significantly. The Lexington Community Foundation can help
our donors respond to these changes. Where donors have established permanent
endowments with us, we can help to assure that if such changes do occur, the funds
are reallocated according to the donor‟s original intent.
RECOGNITION OR ANONYMITY
You may choose to receive public recognition or remain completely anonymous.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
LCF uses the expertise of Lexington's financial advisors to provide cost-effective and
efficient management of LCF‟s and its affiliated funds‟ assets. This allows affiliated
funds to fully focus on their mission of cultivating charitable giving for community
improvement.
PERMANENCE
The Lexington Community Foundation was established in 1982 and has
experienced continued substantial growth. Your outright or deferred gift will last
forever when it is given to LCF or one of its affiliated funds‟ permanent
endowments. With an endowment, assets are invested to generate an ongoing
source of income year after year and your legacy will last forever.
