Higgins joins Nebraska Community Foundation, Olson promoted

Nebraska Community Foundation (NCF) recently added a new staff member and promoted another, strengthening its team and mission to build stronger communities and a Greater Nebraska.

Chloe Higgins joined NCF as Youth Engagement Specialist, a new role that supports the organization’s 1,500 volunteer community leaders in their efforts to invite, include, engage and unleash the goodness of youth and young adults and to co-create long-term positive impact throughout Greater Nebraska.

Higgins is a beneficiary of NCF’s investment in young people, starting in seventh grade with a Youth Philanthropy Grant from the Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund, an affiliated fund of Nebraska Community Foundation. She served as the inaugural Hometown Intern in 2019 and the Hometown Intern Coordinator in 2020 as part of NCF’s highly successful program that provides paid internships to college students in their Nebraska hometowns.

Higgins graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business in 2022 with a major in economics, and she is currently enrolled in UNL’s Rural Economic and Community Vitality Certificate. Prior to joining NCF, she served as the Workforce Development Coordinator at the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development.

Nebraska Community Foundation promoted Anders Olson to Director of Affiliated Fund Development, a role that creates, coordinates and administers education, training and technical assistance for NCF affiliated funds. Olson will lead NCF efforts to grow community endowments and catalyze positive community impact with the payout of those endowments.

Olson previously worked for NCF as an affiliated fund development coordinator for communities in northeast and north central Nebraska before returning in 2022 as Director of Peer Learning. Prior to rejoining NCF, he served as a director for SkillsUSA’s workplace experiences and recognition program, a loan officer for First Northeast Bank of Nebraska in Tekamah and a graduate teaching assistant at the UNL College of Business.

Olson obtained his undergraduate degree and his Master of Business Administration from UNL.
