Briese Announces GivetoEnable.com Crowdfunding Initiative

Gov. Pillen declares August “Able to Save Month”

On Wednesday, August 14, 2024, Treasurer Tom Briese announced the launch of www.Givetoenable.com, a new, free-to-use crowdfunding website designed to help Enable Savings Plan owners achieve a better life experience.

Nebraska’s Enable Savings Plan was specifically designed to encourage persons with a disability to save for future qualified disability expenses. The Enable Savings Plan assists individuals who have a disability by providing sound investment choices for saving for the future.

Givetoenable.com will allow participants to raise needed funds through donations from family, friends, and others, similar to sites such as GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Funds donated through Givetoenable.com will go directly into the individual account owner’s Enable account and will not impact their benefits unlike a traditional crowdfunding webpage.

“Enable account owners are already at an economic disadvantage, and dealing with unexpected financial burdens hits the members of the disabled community hardest. Givetoenable.com is available for all Enable account owners and will allow them to raise additional funds to help cover their disability related expenses,” Briese said.

In addition, anyone who donates on the Givetoenable.com platform and files a Nebraska state income tax return will be able to take advantage of up to a $10,000 Nebraska income tax deduction ($5000 for married taxpayers filing separately). Contributions made to an Enable account from the website will count towards the annual $18,000 contribution limit.

In recognition of the launch of Givetoenable.com and the many advantages of qualified Nebraskans opening and contributing to an Enable Savings Plan, Governor Jim Pillen has also declared August as “Able to Save Month.”

The Conestoga Backpack Program continues to furnish food to local families in need. The program serves the Murray, Nehawka, Union and Beaver Lake areas in southeast Nebraska, and will not turn anyone away.

Just by adding a few of the items listed below to your shopping list and picking them up, you'll be helping someone in a big way. Keep in mind that some of the children are very young and are possibly 'preparing' their own meals, so easy-to-open containers are a good option for little hands.

Canned soup
Granola bars
Fruit snacks
Dry pasta
Spaghetti sauce
Dry soup mixes
Canned meat (chicken, tuna)
Boxed prepared meal kits (Hamburger Helper, Rice-a-Roni)
Peanut butter
Jelly
Canned fruit and vegetables

Single-serve cereals

Also needed are hygienic supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, cotton swabs, tissues and toilet paper.

To make a monetary donation instead, a check made payable to 'CONESTOGA BACKPACK PROGRAM' may be mailed or deposited at Cornerstone Bank, 102 W Main St, Murray, NE 68409. 100% of all monies collected is used for food and hygienic supplies for the families.

To have the items picked up, call Jill at 402-660-3543 to make arrangements. As another alternative, you may drop them off at Cornerstone Bank in Murray or at their Beaver Lake location.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

COME ON OVER!

This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity.  People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.

 

211 Main Street
Louisville, NE

Come on over and take a spin on our dance floor!
This is a family-friendly venue, so bring the kids, too!
