Gage County Foundation

Category: Community/Economic Development


This Year's Project: Community Support and Big Give


About Our Organization

The Gage County Foundation exists for the purpose of raising and providing funds for the benefit of Gage County non-profit organizations engaged in the pursuit of serving the educational, cultural, recreational, historical, health and all meaningful needs of our Gage County Citizens. 

The Gage County Foundation is a vehicle for people of all means to make a lasting difference in the community causes they care about. The central purpose the Gage County Foundation is to serve the needs and philanthropic aims of donors who wish to better their community, now and in the future. We do this by providing donors with flexible, efficient, and tax-effective ways to ensure their charitable giving achieves the greatest possible impact. The concept of the Foundation is as ingenious as it is simple - it is a means to build substantial endowment funds for our community through contributions large and small. Because the contributions are endowed, they are never spent. Instead, they are permanently invested to produce income. The income earned is then used to help meet the community's charitable needs, according to YOUR donor interests and the current needs and opportunities in the community. So gifts to the Gage County Foundation continue to benefit our community forever. This is philanthropy in its broadest sense.



Current Project: Community Support and Big Give



The Gage County Foundation is proud to serve our county in many capacities.  Our foundation funds the marketing to make the Big Give Gage County happen each year.  This past year, we have helped with the Trail Depot which provided parking and restrooms for guests using the trail system in Gage County and has donated funds to bring the new Food Pantry to life.  We are so excited to be able to help with these and various projects in our area.  A goal for 2023 is to hire our first paid position for the foundation to help the foundation grow and serve our county on a whole new level.
