Your human resources office can supply you with specific instructions about its process for matching gifts.

Why We Need Your Help

Membership in NASHIA is voluntary; while some state agencies pay dues, the majority of our members pay individual dues. Our budget is small and there is always more work to be done. All support, regardless of the size or the type, makes a difference to NASHIA. Through publications, Web sites, educational opportunities, and more, NASHIA helps its members and others interested in state government balance the ever-increasing needs with the ever-decreasing pool of public resources. As a result there is improved availability and quality of services and supports for individuals and families.

Additional Ways You Can Support NASHIA

We recognize that you invest in ways that reflect your interests and express your values. We invite you to review these additional options for supporting NASHIA:

• Encourage others to join NASHIA or refer a member.
• Purchase products and disseminate.
• Take the portable NASHIA exhibit and products to your next meeting.
• Purchase technical assistance from NASHIA staff.

Planned Giving

You can make a significant gift that costs nothing now, such as a bequest. You can even make a gift to NASHIA that provides income to you or a loved one. These gifts can be made with many types of assets, from the most common (e.g., cash and securities) to the more unusual (e.g., property, collectibles, or retirement assets). Many people use planned gifts to help them make a substantial impact more affordably.

While we recommend that you consult with an attorney, below is some suggested language to help you get started. Contact Jeff Henderson, Finance and Administration Manager, at 301-656-3147 or jphenderson@tbitac.nashia.org for additional information.

“I give and bequeath the sum of $___________ (or____________% of my estate) to the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators, located at 4330 East West Highway, Suite 301, Bethesda, MD 20814 to be used for its general purposes.”

You may also give a particular asset (“my shares of XYZ stock…”) or a portion of the residue of your estate after other bequests have been paid (“50% of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate…”).

SOS Sponsorship

NASHIA’s State-of-the-States in Head Injury Meeting was the first and is the only annual national conference designed to foster communication and competency development among state government brain injury program administrators. Each year almost every state and territory is represented with over 200 key state government employees in the field of brain injury, Brain Injury Association of America chartered state affiliates, and other professionals responsible for planning or administering brain injury prevention, rehabilitation, or community integration programs and services.

The following sponsorship opportunities are available for this conference. Contact Jeff Henderson, Finance and Administration Manager, at 301-656-3147 or jphenderson@tbitac.nashia.org to discuss any of the opportunities.
