O’Neill Community Foundation Fund

The purpose of the O’Neill Community Foundation Fund is to increase community-based endowed assets, with future grants being awarded from the proceeds of endowments.

The O’Neill Community Foundation Fund encourages people from all walks of life to give back to their community by providing a full range of gift opportunities. A volunteer Fund Advisory Committee works actively to increase charitable giving and award grants to worthwhile organizations that are addressing the emerging needs and future opportunities in our community. 

The O’Neill Community Foundation Fund is building an unrestricted endowment fund. Earnings from the endowment will be used to support specific activities that will improve our community and economic prospects and encourage our young people to stay in or return to O’Neill.

The O’Neill Community Foundation Fund enhances the quality of life and helps create new opportunities in the O’Neill area by:

• Supporting and strengthening local nonprofit organizations
• Providing innovative ways for donors to benefit their community
• Identifying needs and making grants in our community
• Participating in partnerships with other community groups

As an affiliated fund of the Nebraska Community Foundation, all contributions to the O’Neill 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. 

We invite you to contribute to ensuring the future of O’Neill.
