Nebraska Nonprofits
Nebraska’s nonprofits take issues like pedestrian safety, international health and education, and care for children and seniors very seriously. Below are some of the state’s respected nonprofits that currently address these issues.
Keep Kids Alive Drive 25
Motor vehicles hit more than 6,000 pedestrians each year in the United States. Yet, by adopting safe driving practices, Americans can drastically reduce the number of needless injuries and deaths. Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 seeks to make the nation a safer place for pedestrians by educating the public on the dangers of speeding and reckless driving to themselves and the people around them. With events like car shows, fun runs, and other efforts to spread awareness, this nonprofit is committed to making US streets and roadways safer for children, cyclists, pets, and anyone out walking.
The Hope Venture
This nonprofit works to spread the generosity of others to as many places around the world as possible. It specializes in educational programs that provide children with school supplies as well as scholarships and instructions for people to assist with sustainable methods. It also supports health projects that supply food to impoverished areas and medical aid to ensure villages have their basic health needs met, including regular checkups for their residents. This nonprofit also prioritizes transparency by working to ensure that all donations go to the subject or country to which its donors request.
