The unprecedented combination of rain, blizzard, and flooding have set the stage for enormous personal and economic disaster—and for the perfect opportunity for neighbors to reach out and help neighbors across area communities. Grand Island Community Foundation has established the Central Nebraska Disaster Relief Fund in order to help make the biggest impact across the widest area possible. You can click here to read about the fund and the disaster in the Grand Island Independent. In order to make your donation for impact in the greater Hall, Howard, and Sherman County areas, click here to begin the process of donating to the GICF Central Nebraska Disaster Relief Fund.

We are cooperating interactively with various other community foundations across the area, dovetailing our efforts in order to ensure that you have the opportunity to target your donations to the specific hard-hit communities of your choice.
