What Millard Business Community Foundation does

The Millard Business Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by the Millard Business Association to deliver benevolent community programs in the Millard and Greater Omaha areas of Nebraska. The Foundation was established to fulfill the Association's Fourth core objective and operates signature programs centered on holiday assistance, post-secondary scholarships, and school-based resource support. Project Wee Care, the signature program adopted in 2006, provides nominated Millard Public Schools families with food, gifts, connections to nonprofit services, and a holiday-season family event at Waters Edge Church. In 2025 the program served 320 families encompassing more than 900 children, contributing to cumulative service of over 20,700 family members since inception. The Foundation also awards six $2,000 scholarships annually to high school seniors at Millard South, Millard North, Millard West, and Skutt Catholic High Schools, along with named scholarships such as the 'We Are All Patriots' and 'Rich Pahls Memorial' awards, presented at the Millard Business Association Awards Night in February.

The Foundation's revenue mechanics combine donation streams, tiered corporate sponsorships, event-based fundraising, and a fireworks-stand fundraiser. Direct donations are tax-deductible under the 501(c)(3) designation; Project Wee Care sponsorship tiers range from $75 per child gift to $1,000 for North Pole or Winter Wonderland sponsorships. The Annual Scholarship Golf Scramble, held at Pacific Springs Golf Course, generated its 22nd edition on September 18, 2025 with 100 golfers, tiered registration at $130 individual / $520 team-of-four, and sponsorship packages from $150 (Hole Sponsor) to $1,000 (Masters Sponsor). A separate fireworks stand operates seasonally in the Family Fare parking lot at 14444 W Center Road. Funds flow predominantly back into scholarships and the Project Wee Care holiday event.

The Foundation is administered by a 12-member volunteer board of directors with no paid headcount disclosed beyond the 51-100 range stated at the firmographic level, and is governed without a parent organization. Program delivery is executed through a partner network that includes Millard Public Schools (family nominations and School Connect), Waters Edge Church (North Pole event venue at 19600 Harrison Street), Heartland Hope Mission (food packing at 15555 Industrial Road), Nebraska Diaper Bank, Within Reach, and Target (volunteer shopping days at 12500 K Plaza). Operations are regionally scoped to the Omaha metropolitan area and broader Midwest United States, with brand presence concentrated on a Facebook page (facebook.com/projectweecare) and the millardbcf.org website maintained by Sryde Digital Marketing. No technology platform, proprietary software, or AI capability is associated with the Foundation.
