The Legacy Fund of Seward County is committed to building a permanent unrestricted endowment

to ensure there are abundant resources available to meet the needs of our citizens who live, work, learn, and succeed in our county.

The Legacy Fund of Seward County

Established in 2019, the Legacy Fund of 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.

The volunteer Fund Advisory Committee is actively working to increase charitable giving and awarding grants to worthy local causes and projects throughout Seward County. Through these grant dollars, we are helping to address emerging needs and future opportunities across the county.
