Donors, Churches, and Individuals
A significant portion of our budget depends on the financial gifts of others. Undesignated donations are used where they
are most needed, or you can designate your gift for a use that is meaningful to you.

Needs:
Finances: The 30-year-old furnace and air conditioning systems at Ita Home, (our boys' cottage), Girls'
Cottage, and an off-duty staff residence have been replaced this fall with new, high-efficiency units. These new systems have
a total price tag of about $12,000. You can designate your donation to help cover this cost. The comfort and safety provided
for our youth and staff are tangible ways your thoughfulness can be felt at Grace Children's Home.
Prayers: For the youth in our care who desperately need to know God loves them and has a plan for their
lives; for understanding and compassion as our staff live and work with troubled youth; for wisdom and a spirit of encouragement
for our administrators.

helping with maintenance of buildings and grounds or providing special activities for our youth.

compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

IRA Tax Savings
If you own an IRA and are at least 70 1/2 years old, you have a significant opportunity to avoid paying taxes on your
IRA and make a charitable donation to Grace Children's Home.
The U.S. Congress recently extended through 2009 a provision
that allows you to donate to charity up to $100,000 per calendar year from a regular or Roth IRA without paying taxes on the
earnings. You may donate all or a portion of your IRA, or even a Required Minimum Distribution.
If you are interested
in supporting Grace Children's Home and would like to know more about how to donate from your IRA, call us at 402-723-5725.
We will be glad to provide a full explanation, and we can help you handle the paperwork.
