What is Affiliation?
Affiliation is the process by which a
community or group of individuals can legally become an affiliated fund under the Nebraska Community
Foundation's charitable 501(c)(3) status.
Why
Affiliate?
Using
the Nebraska Community Foundation as a 501(c)(3) affiliated fund and fund
manager, communities and nonprofit organizations can establish permanent
and non-permanent funds to assist the charitable purposes they
designate.
The Foundation
will create a brochure for any affiliated fund. View a
Model Fund Brochure.
Affiliation with the Nebraska Community
Foundation gives
communities access to and all the privileges of a 501(c)(3) charitable
corporation.
Affiliation under the umbrella of the
Nebraska Community Foundation's 501(c)(3) status gives communities a vehicle through which donors can make tax
deductible gifts.
Affiliation allows you to avoid the
process and cost of incorporating your own 501(c)(3) charitable
corporation.
Affiliated members receive the benefits
of technical assistance and training from Nebraska Community Foundation
staff. Benefits
