The Sarpy Chamber foundation (sarpychamber.org) has awarded $30,000 in grants to local nonprofits. Eligible organizations must be a 501c3 and a current Sarpy Chamber member. Three $5, 000 grants were given to three different organizations with large-scale fundraising campaigns.

In addition to supporting these major development projects, the Sarpy Chamber Foundation gave $1,000 grants to 15 other nonprofits to be used locally in conjunction with each organization’s respective missions.
