Contributions from the United Way, local foundations, organizations and individuals provided the original foundation for our early programming and continues to be our financial base. In 2001, we began leveraging the cash and in-kind support to apply for state and federal grants. This enabled our organization to hire staff to coordinate existing programs, expand current programming and add new programs and services for youth and families in Otoe County. Because grants are temporary and intended to be used for program start-up, we must increasingly rely on local support for the growth and sustainability of each program or service we provide. Today, we collaborate with TeamMates of Nebraska City, Otoe County, St. Mary's Community Hospital, Nebraska City Public Schools, Syracuse Public Schools and Otoe County CASA to provide administrative, clerical and office function support in order to keep each programs administrative expenses to a minimum. Additionally, our volunteer base is essential to our success and countless community members, through their donation of time and talent, sustain our organization. For this we are most grateful.
