Thanks to its generous donors, NCCF has reinvested more than $10 million into the community through grants supporting qualifying programs and projects.

In addition, I’ve been able to support Norton County, a place unique in so many ways. Norton County’s economic diversity, competitive spirt, and loyalty to one another makes representation really easy. I’m excited about where I will leave this foundation and even more excited about where it can go in the future!”
