The mission of the Shickley Community Foundation Fund, an affiliate of the Nebraska Community Foundation, is to fund community development now and for generations to come. We are committed to keeping our community a vital, progressive, and healthy place where people can live, raise families, and retire. We provide a variety of ways for people to invest their time, talent, and treasure in our community.
The Shickley Community Foundation supports community enhancement projects aiming to involve every community member in its foundation without minimum gift restrictions. It focuses on building a permanent undesignated endowment fund to support substantial contributions to community projects through interest moneys. Specific initiatives include the Community Center Fund, the Longhorn Scholarship Fund, and the Ball Field Fund, which all aim to improve the quality of life in Shickley. The Foundation's guiding principles highlight a commitment to nurturing agricultural roots, educational opportunities, and economic growth to support the well-being of all citizens.
