There are many ways to support your charitable interest – The choice is yours.
How involved do you want to be in your grantmaking? Do you want to give to a specific organization or a specific area of interest? Launch a scholarship to honor or memorialize a loved one? Restrict your giving to a particular county in Nebraska and/or fund internationally? Create or continue your business giving program? Whatever you're giving goals, there is a fund option for you.
