STEP Foundation 3 New Funds
Three New Funds Established at the Nemaha County STEP Foundation We are proud to announce the creation of three new charitable funds that will strengthen our commitment to empowering communities throughout Nemaha County: 1. Nemaha County Community Services Fund A new expendable fund that will support essential needs such as a diaper and formula bank, personal care items for all ages, cribs, car seats, and more. This fund furthers the mission of Nemaha County Community Health Services to care for residents across every stage of life. 2. NorthRidge Church (Seneca) Fund An endowed fund made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor, this fund will support NorthRidge Church in its mission to reach and equip people for Christ without borders. 3. Best Life Community Services Fund (formerly NCTC) A new expendable fund supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. This fund enables services such as life and work skills training, job placement, and community living support—promoting independence, inclusion, and quality of life. These new funds are now part of the Nemaha County STEP Foundation and will be eligible to participate in Match Day on Friday, August 22, 2025—an incredible opportunity to multiply their impact through matched donations. A reminder that new funds must be established by June 1, 2025 to participate in Match Day. We are excited for the opportunities these funds bring to our communities, and we thank the donors and organizations for making it possible.
