Wood River Centennial Community Foundation
Since the early days of barn raisings, quilting societies and husking bees, Americans have realized that their lives and fortunes are bound together. By sharing, they improve their well-being. Today, an extension of that cooperative spirit presents itself in the function of the community foundation, which was created for a community’s philanthropic support of itself. The Wood River Community Centennial Foundation started as a dream … a dream of improving the quality of life in Wood River and the surrounding area. That dream became a reality in 1984 with the formation of the Wood River Community Centennial Foundation. It is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nebraska with perpetual existence. It is qualified as a section 501(c)(3) charitable foundation entitling donors tax deductions for Federal Income and Estate tax purposes.
The mission of WRCCF is to encourage, receive and administer contributions and gifts for the benefit of the Wood River area. Funding for WRCCF is received from individuals, businesses, corporations and estates. Contributions and memorials can be made in the form of cash, securities, real estate, life insurance and bequests.
