Ways to Help - Nebraska/Iowa Tornado Relief and Recovery

Many of us experienced concern and panic for our family, friends and neighbors as tornados tore through the Great Plains in recent days. Organizations are galvanizing quickly to provide resources for immediate basic needs as well as longer-term recovery efforts. 

If you would like to recommend a grant from your LCF donor advised fund to aid in recovery, please consider a grant for any of the following regional nonprofits. All of these organizations have strong track records in supporting relief and recovery efforts. When we receive your grant recommendation, we will ensure it is reviewed and distributed quickly so that these resources may be deployed to those recovering from these devasting storms.
