On Thursday, May 20 the Omaha Community Foundation will be having its annual 24 hour charitable challenge to benefit non-profits, Omaha Gives! Throughout the day, Omaha area non-profits will be competing for donations. Last year, more than 18,000 people raised $6.3 million for nearly 600 organizations.
You can either schedule your donation now, or donate during Omaha Gives on May 20. Your donation helps support the work we do in telling the whole story of Nebraska’s kids.
Over the years, donations to Voices for Children have allowed us to build important pathways to opportunities for kids in Nebraska. As a result of our work:
- 160,000 children have health insurance through Kids Connection
- 1,100 more Nebraska babies have access to prenatal care
- 16,000 kids will avoid being sent to the court system just for missing school
- 1,200 kids will avoid adult criminal records and be able to access appropriate services
- More than 500 additional Nebraska children have access to safe, affordable, child care every year
- 6,000 kids in the child welfare system benefit from caseworkers being able to spend time with them and their family
Here is what you can do to help us help kids:
- Mark your calendars and donate on May 20
- Tell your friends you will be donating to Voices for Children on May 20 and urge them to do the same
- Post about Omaha Gives on your social media pages #OmahaGives
