Leadership in Place

Burwell

Leadership in Place

The Burwell Community Fund has more than 20 active leaders who head up projects and programs in the Burwell/Taylor/Calamus area. Included here are some of the leaders who make Burwell a growing community. (Left to right) Philip Simpson, Dan Bird, Maralee Udell, Lorajane Bolli, Amy Ballagh, Jeff Anderson, Johanna Jeffres, Howard Fairbairn, Bonita Ziegler and Brenda Holmquist, current Chair of the Burwell Community Fund.

The Nebraska Community Foundation prepares local leaders to harness the power of the intergenerational transfer of wealth. The goal is to build community endowments, secure an ongoing source of annual revenue, and use charitable giving for community reinvestment. This is happening in places of all sizes, because people give money to people they trust. NCF provides the structure, training,  technical assistance, coaching and administrative support that enable our 1,800 volunteer leaders to succeed.
