A Challenge for the Future

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little did they know that this relatively small "ask" would initiate a much larger, much deeper conversation about investing in the future of the Leadership Nebraska City program -- and ultimately, investing in the people of our community. 
 

A short time later, the Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund (NCCFF) issued a challenge grant to Leadership Nebraska City, with guidelines as follows:
 

• Leadership Nebraska City raises $10,000; NCCFF matches $5,000.

• Once the minimum goal is met, NCCFF will match $500 for each $1,000 in additional funds raised by Leadership Nebraska City up to an additional $5,000.

• Final goal: $20,000 is raised by LNC; NCCFF will match $10,000

• Total Amount Raised: $30,000
  
   

How will Leadership Nebraska City use $30,000?

• Create an Endowment Fund with earnings to secure the financial future and continuation of the Leadership Nebraska City program.

• Provide skills training sessions for current classes, Alumni, and the greater community.

• Provide scholarships for future class members.
