COVID-19 Response Fund 

Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation has set up a COVID-19 Response Fund to aid local nonprofit organizations in the North Platte area that are providing basic needs to people impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the consequences of the outbreak.  

For those local nonprofits that are aiding the COVID-19 response, a simple grant application can be downloaded.   Applications for COVID-19  Response Grants will be considered from nonprofits organizations that serve people in the North Platte area, including the Nebraska counties of Custer, Dawson, Frontier, Hayes, Hooker, Keith, Lincoln, Logan, McPherson, Perkins and Thomas.  Application for grants can be made any time during the COVID-19 outbreak and mailed to Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation, PO Box 1321, North Platte NE 69103.  Applications received will be considered by the Community Foundation periodically during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Because of the urgent nature of this grant program, applications for the COVID-19 Response Grants may be mailed or delivered to Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation any time during the COVID-19 outbreak.  Applications received will be considered by the Community Foundation periodically during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Donate to the COVID-19 Response Fund

100% of donations received will be used to help local nonprofits deal with responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.  The COVID-19 Response Fund is off to a good start thanks to early donors and to funds at the community foundation available for response to this challenging situation.

Payouts from the COVID-19 Response Fund will provide financial help to nonprofits focusing on providing basic needs, such as food, shelter, healthcare, and special needs of at-risk groups of people. 

Donations to the COVID-19 Response Fund will be deposited in local banks until paid out to local nonprofits.
