In 2005 the Nebraska Community Foundation fueled the imagination of young leaders in Stuart and Atkinson with our new approach to community economic development called HomeTown Competitiveness.
The HomeTown Competitiveness youth task force is spearheading a countywide youth advisory council. And, as a token of its commitment to young people, the county gives each high school graduate a full-sized, personalized mailbox with a reminder that they are always welcome home and an invitation to come back.
The Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund started its NCF affiliated fund in 2000. In its first five years it raised and granted over $1 million to 21 community projects. In 2005 fund leaders began planning for a permanent unrestricted endowment.
