NP Dodge’s Dodge Cares, Inc., celebrated a historic $101,850 donation to 15 nonprofit organizations serving eastern Nebraska and western Iowa during a check presentation reception this week.
The contribution marks the largest annual giving total in Dodge Care’s 23-year history and brings the foundation’s total contributions to more than $1.1 million since Dodge Cares was established in 2002.
Representatives from the local nonprofit organizations gathered alongside NP Dodge agents, employees, and Dodge Cares board members to commemorate the milestone and recognize the organizations making a meaningful difference across the Greater Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln metro areas.
“Building up and investing in our communities has always been part of our mission” said Jill Anderson, president of NP Dodge Real Estate. “Reaching a historic milestone during our brokerage’s 170th anniversary year is a powerful reflection of the generosity of our agents and employees and the company to support and strength our community.”
Since its founding more than two decades ago, Dodge Cares’ guiding principle is that continuous support of community stems from the belief in people and nonprofit agencies that work to make Omaha and the surrounding areas an even better place to live, work and raise a family. The contributions through Dodge Cares provide food, shelter and comfort to the homeless, displaced and abused individuals.
Dodge Cares is supported through donations from NP Dodge agents, employees and the general public with NP Dodge providing matching funds annually up to $250 per agent and employee, helping expand the impact of those contributions throughout the community. This year’s record-breaking donation reflects the continued commitment of the NP Dodge family to investing in the communities where they live and work.
Dodge Cares local nonprofit partners include Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity, Friendship Home, Habitat for Humanity, Heart Ministry Center, HomeWoven, Open Door Mission, Open Door Mission’s Lydia House, Pottawattamie County Housing Trust Fund, Inc., Siena Francis House, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Stephen Center, Together, Washington County Food Pantry at Joseph’s Coat, Wounded Warriors and Youth Emergency Services.
