The Community Critical Needs Fund was formed thanks to a generous donation from a couple in the Kearney area who wanted their gift to make the greatest impact for those in need. After thoughtful discussion, the KACF Board of Directors created this fund to be able to react to recent cuts in funding and increases in services experienced in our community. This gift has been the catalyst to create an opportunity for other donors who want to help our community in a direct and impactful way. This grant process will open in mid-December 2025 and operate on an as-needed basis. A gift will help us reach more people and maintain this fund for future unmet needs in our community.
