Overview

Mission

The Nebraska Afghan Community Center (NACC) was established to provide assistance to Afghan families throughout Nebraska following the Afghan government's fall in August 2021. Nebraska Afghan Community Center (NACC) operates under five community initiatives. Each initiative has volunteers to deliver corresponding services and tasks. These initiatives include: Healthy Community (e.g., help with medical appointments, health education), Community Integration (e.g., community events), Community Self-Sufficiency (e.g., training for personal or public transportation in NE), Community Education (e.g., youth mentoring, cultural competencies, onsite or offsite ESL class or classes), and Capacity Building and Fundraising (e.g., donation collection and distribution, growing NACC's operations).

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided access to free recreational and educational programs, including but not limited to: Futsal tournaments, health education programming, transportation and home safety educational programming.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
