For decades, individuals and businesses in our region have chosen to give locally, not just because it feels good, but also because it works. Local giving drives long-term regional vitality. It strengthens the nonprofits addressing issues right here in our neighborhoods. It supports cultural institutions, youth programs, housing access, and community health. And increasingly, it’s a strategy for business leaders and families looking to invest with purpose. At the heart of this work is the Omaha Community Foundation (OCF), a trusted philanthropic partner that manages more than 2,000 charitable funds and helps donors give back in ways that are strategic, informed, and aligned with local needs. One of the most powerful tools for place-based giving is the Donor Advised Fund (DAF). A DAF offers flexibility, simplicity, and personalized support. It allows donors to contribute assets—cash, stock, real estate, or other complex gifts—receive immediate tax benefits, and then recommend grants over time. OCF doesn’t just process grants—it brings depth. Through community-led efforts like the Community Interest Funds, the Foundation empowers residents closest to the issues to direct 21 nescpa.org
