For Affiliated Funds

While there are a number of cities in our state with community foundations that manage donor-advised funds and make grants, NCF is the only organization that is using grassroots philanthropy as an economic development tool. We’re putting boots on the ground to build leadership, engage young people and support entrepreneurship so communities across the state will have a prosperous future.

NCF provides development and professional services to affiliated funds located in communities across the state. These include community-based funds—all in rural areas—and organizational funds, such as the Nebraska Cattlemen Research and Education Foundation Fund and the Nebraska Independent Bankers Foundation Fund.

We also partner with public programs, such as the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program Fund, which is restoring one of Nebraska’s most important natural resources, to strategically manage their funds.

And we serve individual donors and their families, by helping them establish charitable funds to benefit their communities and favorite causes.
