News Flash: CGA Rates To Rise July 1!
As of July 1, interest rates for Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA) will rise, which means a greater payout on your gift. A CGA works like this: you agree to donate cash, stock or other assets to NET, and we invest it and agree to pay you a fixed percentage of your gift every year for the rest of your life (and the life of another person, if you choose). Click here and scroll down to Charitable Gift Annuities for details. Or contact NET Foundations Executive Director Jeff Beckman at 800.634.6788, ext. 380, or jbeckman@netNebraska.org. |

Your NET Radio Day Sponsorship announcement will air 5 times on the day of your choice between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The following guidelines will assist you in creating your day sponsorship message.
- Your announcement must include your name and be 25 words or less and personal in nature. Examples of popular messages include announcements of birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, memorials, etc. Your day sponsorship message cannot be used for business advertising, political opinions, or ideological or theological expressions. NET Radio staff members will be happy to work with you to craft your message.
 NET Radio permits no more than 1 day sponsor to be scheduled per day. While we make every effort to accommodate your first choice, please understand that day sponsorships are assigned on a first requested-first scheduled basis. Please indicate your first and second choice of dates for your day sponsorship. NET Radio staff will contact you to confirm the date you have been assigned.
- Your pledge must be paid in full, and your script on file at least one week prior to the date your sponsorship announcement is scheduled.
Thank you for supporting NET Radio! Proceeds from NET Radio Day Sponsorships support both the local and national programs you enjoy and respect, from Morning Edition and All Things Considered to classical music and A Prairie Home Companion.
To request an NET Radio Day Sponsorship form or for more information, please contact Jenny Herstein at 402-472-9333 ext. 556 or jherstein@netNebraska.org.

But what’s surprising is that even Ken’s closest friends didn’t know that he was a budding philanthropist.
