“Every Seed Counts”
The Legacy Fund for Seward County is committed to building a permanent unrestricted endowment. Your donation will help assure a united and prosperous Seward County that possesses abundant resources in perpetuity to enable all of its citizens to live, work, learn and succeed.
Planting the future for Seward County
The Legacy Fund for Seward County is dedicated to the improvement and long-term viability of the Seward County residents. The volunteer FAC will actively work to increase charitable giving and will award grants to local worthy causes and projects that are addressing emerging needs and future opportunities in the county-wide community. When the amount of earnings from invested funds in NCF reaches $22,500, the FAC will request grant proposals from 501(c)(3) organizations located in Seward County. This will enable the FAC to select recipients for the disbursements from the dividends earned. Established in 2019, the Legacy Fund for Seward County is an affiliated fund of Nebraska Community Foundation.
We are dedicated to serving the communities of Beaver Crossing, Bee, Cordova, Garland, Goehner, Milford, Pleasant Dale, Seward, Staplehurst and Utica.
