Who We Are


Our
Mission & Values


We are dedicated to enriching the quality of life
for the residents of McCook, Nebraska.

The McCook Community Foundation Fund is looking forward while giving back to the community. Since its formation in 2001, MCFF has directly granted more than $600,000 to community organizations. The grants have benefited McCook and the surrounding area in many ways, from youth programs to services for the elderly, from education and cultural activities to large and small community projects.

From the beginning, our grants have continued to reflect our focus on people. We funded the McCook HomeTown Competitiveness Youth Task Force to help young people in our schools finance community service projects they choose, coordinate and complete with guidance from local charitable organizations. In addition, grants helped promote exercise programs for older adults at the YMCA and art projects for older citizens through the McCook Art Guild. We also funded renovation of the McCook Public Library children’s reading section.
Mission:
MCFF is connecting and impacting our community through intentional investments of time and financial resources.

Vision:
Making McCook an even better place to call home.

Values:
  • Stewardship - MCFF will wisely use all of its resources, believing in honesty, integrity, confidentiality.
  • Respectful - MCFF values people and will work to be inclusive and accepting, making sure both growing up and growing old are priorities.
  • Grit - MCFF will support those who are resilient, passionate, resourceful, and courageous.
