The idea for Meade County Community Foundation began as a way to keep funds collected by the Sherriff's Department in Meade County instead of sending them onto the state. Since 2019, we have funded several county-wide and individual community projects thanks to these funds and The Patterson Family Foundation.
MCCF is focused on Meade County and all three school districts that serve the youth of our county, extending our reach into Seward County as well.
MCCF is a 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax deductible with additional tax incentives for certain funds. Our EIN Number is: 84-2464480.
Keep it local! The main goal is to better our county and individual communities through funding projects and equipment needed by non-profits, government entities, and schools.
Our secondary goal, which will help us attain the first one, is raising $600,000 for our Operating Endowment Fund by 2030. This will allow us to become self-sustainable at our current operation levels without have to rely on outside grants or operations specific donations.
Funding projects that better the quality of life in Meade County.
Meade County Community Foundation is ran by a Board of Directors and an Executive Director. Each town must have a representative on the board who lives within city limits. Two-to-four additional members can reside anywhere within Meade County.
Board: Rachel Canton, Meade Rep; Jan Nuss, At Large; Casie McAtee, Treasurer; Dave Salmon, Fowler Rep; Cindy Brenner, President; Jennifer Stanfield, Secretary/Plains Rep (not pictured); and Executive Director, Cheyenne Federau.
