CHAD is adding two new member charities to its fundraising federation: Epilepsy Foundation Nebraska and Nebraska Health Care Foundation. With this addition, effective July 1, 2021, there are now 23 member charities that provide support for Nebraskans with health or end-of-life issues.
“We are so pleased to extend membership to these two charities doing critical work across Nebraska,” said Michelle Grossman, President and CEO of CHAD. “Now, donors have even more ways to make an impact when they give a gift though CHAD.”
Epilepsy Foundation Nebraska seeks to help Nebraskans overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures and save lives.
“The Epilepsy Foundation is proud to join CHAD and its member organizations in the pursuit to promote engagement and wellness through workplace partnerships,” said Kristi Berst, Executive Director of Community Engagement at Epilepsy Foundation Nebraska. “Anyone can have a seizure, at any time, at any place. This collaborative effort will elevate our impact and further expand our reach to over 19,600 individuals living with epilepsy throughout Nebraska.”
The Nebraska Health Care Foundation works to ensure there are an adequate number of trained professionals to care for residents of the state's nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
“The Nebraska Health Care Foundation is honored to join the CHAD family,” said Heath Boddy, President and CEO of Nebraska Health Care Foundation. “NHCF has long admired CHAD’s work and is truly excited to help share its important message and the needs of its 23 health charities with even more Nebraskans. This new partnership will also be key in NHCF’s efforts to raise awareness and funds in support of those who work and reside in Nebraska’s skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities.”
