We are incredibly lucky as residents of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area to live and work in a community-oriented environment that values our partnerships with one another and working together for the common good. Along with our thriving business community, we benefit greatly as an entire city from the numerous local non-profit organizations work tirelessly to support the needs of our diverse population.  These organizations are a fundamental part of what makes our city such a great place to call home, and the variety found in the missions of these organizations allows for many central needs to be met in our community.

Have you been considering getting involved with the work of a local non-profit? While monetary contributions are always welcome, that’s certainly not the only way one can support our local non-profit organizations.  In fact, it can also be our time, talents, and answering the call for specific needs or donations that has the potential to make just as great of an impact.  From helping throughout the summer with awareness and fundraising events to the fall in volunteering and supporting organizations focused on our schools, and on throughout the holidays to help make that time of year better for all, there’s plenty of different ways to get involved and make a difference.  As such, when choosing which non-profit organization to support it’s important to find ones whose mission you are passionate about and also whose majority of funding and resources are allocated directly to the cause.

Having the help of volunteers is indeed a huge asset to any organization; many non-profits rely almost solely on this assistance to keep everything up and running. Whether you’re a high school or college student, a working professional, or retired, there are opportunities that are a good fit for different age groups so it really comes down to supporting to the causes that you feel strongly about in our community.  Everyone has a particular skill set and something unique to contribute!

Furthermore, if you prefer to allocate funds to support a local non-profit, you can be assured that most of that money will stay in our community, doing good right here in the Omaha Metro.  As transparency is common with respect to legitimate non-profit organizations, doing a little research beforehand to better understand how your money will be used is easy and will help you to make a decision that you can feel great about.

Particularly for businesses that want to contribute as a group, there are also a wealth of creative ways to get involved at the corporate level. Not only is it a fun bonding experience for your team and positive exposure for your company; philanthropy is a pillar of corporate responsibility. A few possibilities include getting feedback from your employees as to an organization or event to support, coordinating your own fundraising efforts, building a special campaign to benefit a non-profit, or creating a unique new opportunity that incorporates engagement from your staff and/or clients.

Above all, no matter what you have to give or in what way you choose to contribute, forming partnerships with our non-profit community creates and sustains a cycle of giving back that benefits us all.  We encourage you to learn more about our local non-profit community by taking a minute to read through the highlighted organizations, and moreover, to get involved in whatever way you can!

The Alzheimer’s Association provides education and support to those who face dementia every day. On a national level, the Association advances critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease, the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.

Project Harmony grew out of the vision of several Omaha community professionals and advocates to create a better system of protection for abused and neglected children.  Today, Project Harmony is one of the largest Child Advocacy Centers in the nation.  This is not due to an overwhelming volume of child abuse, but due to the level of collaboration that comes together to address the issue – collectively.  Project Harmony would not be where it is today without the generous support of the Omaha Community.  But it doesn’t stop here.

Due to the terrific response of program and partnership growth, Project Harmony has been able to serve over 2,500 children in the last year and they are projecting over 3,500 children will need their services in 2015.  In addition, the agency provides training to more than 10,000 professionals each year.  As the need continues to grow, Project Harmony is forecasting continued partnerships and growth – including:

• Expanding efforts at early intervention.

• Expanding efforts with schools and coordinating access to children’s mental health services.

• Creating innovative interventions with trauma, family violence and child abuse.

• Establishing partnerships to create training and education with specialization in child abuse and trauma.

• Continuing to strengthen the prosecution of child abuse.
