Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund
The Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund is growing an endowment that focuses on investing in the people of Nebraska City…our most important asset. We are raising funds for something other than the typical brick and mortar projects. We are “investing in people” by:
- Supporting our entrepreneurs and small businesses
- Involving our youth and young families
- Developing our future leaders
- Engaging our donors
The Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund is an innovative organization. NCCF has helped a number of adults return to school with scholarships granted to non-traditional students. Most of these scholarship winners have remained in Nebraska City earning higher wages after furthering their education. Additionally, the Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund has aided in providing health equipment for our community’s first responders; technology updates for our library; developing a community theater; creating and improving activities with our youth, such as baseball, softball and the skate park; and many other community-betterment projects.
The Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund serves as an incubator organization for other non-profit community betterment groups to become active and immediately start raising tax deductible funds to support their cause.
Our grants foster a thriving, vibrant community that invites development and focuses on growing our own by investing in people. We always welcome progressive ideas for growing and improving Nebraska City. As an affiliated fund of the Nebraska Community Foundation, all contributions to the Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund are tax-deductible. The Nebraska Community Foundation is confirmed in compliance with the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations, and has met the nation’s highest philanthropic standards of operational quality, integrity and accountability.
