NEBRASKA — A growing non-profit is celebrating its accomplishments in greater Nebraska.

The Nebraska Community Foundation took its annual celebration virtual this week. NCF hosted sessions on topics from attracting youth to greater Nebraska to how to launch a planned giving program. The week culminated with the live-streamed ‘Dreams Welcome’ celebration Thursday evening. NCF President/CEO Jeff Yost says rural communities can continue to grow during the pandemic.

“Let’s look to each other for the courage to seize this moment and make Nebraska a place everyone belongs," Yost said. "All dreams are welcome here.”

The program showed videos of projects undertaken by the local affiliated funds, featured speakers from different affiliated funds and highlighted the 2020 hometown interns.

Yost says NCF affiliated funds are now present in 270 communities across 82 counties. NCF granted and dispersed $38 million in 2020.
