 Twenty-eight Friends gave in support of Friends of Foundation for the 2018 Omaha Gives! The 24-hour charitable giving day powered by the Omaha Community Foundation took place Wednesday, May 23, 2018.
Omaha Gives! is an annual 24-hour charitable challenge to benefit metro-area nonprofits beginning at midnight May 23. We are fortunate to be among the featured nonprofits. Friends of Extension & 4-H Foundation supports Nebraska Extension in Douglas/Sarpy Counties through the program areas including 4-H, Master Gardeners, ServSafe (food safety for restaurant managers and employees), training of professionals who apply pesticides and fertilizers, nutrition education and agriculture programs. Our teams share research-based information from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and assist people in using it to improve their lives and well-being. I encourage you to check our website: www.friendsofextension.org for more information on Friends of Extension. Friends of Extension awarded eight requests for funds totaling $5,536.19 during its 2018 spring grant cycle. From providing shelter to purple martins and feeder calfs, to assisting with a garden project and bringing more visibility to winners at the Sarpy County Fair, the requests all fell in line with Friends of Extension's mission of supporting extension in Douglas and Sarpy counties.
Below are the grant recipients and funds received:
