Reviving hope in rural communities

03/01/2006, Jeff Yost

The Nebraska Community Foundation (NCF) proves the transformational power of the collective. Today, over 1,400 community leaders serve as advisers to NCF affiiated funds. In the last five years, nearly 25,000 individual donations have been given to these funds. Since being formed in 1993, NCF has reinvested over $51 million in Nebraska and its hometowns. Most importantly, community leaders are now telling us – and each other – that they believe they can be successful. NCF thus incorporates a community-driven system that goes far beyond traditional fundraising and endowment building.
