We INVITE YOU to be a PART of the LEGACY.

Our Vision
The Wayne Area is a generous community where all ages can live, work and play for generations to come.
We invite you to be a part of the legacy, promoting progress in our area by giving to the unrestricted endowment. Similar to a community savings account, unrestricted endowments are an important tool to keep hometowns across Nebraska growing, thriving, and improving future generations. While a portion of the income earned by the endowment is granted annually to fund projects and programs to benefit the community, the principal remains intact and grows every year.
Our Mission
To inspire generosity, invest resources, identify the anticipated needs, and involve everyone in the betterment of the Wayne area.
"We unleash abundant local assets, inspire charitable giving, and connect ambitious people to build stronger communities and a Greater Nebraska"
