Capital Campaign Knowledge:
A capital campaign is a targeted fundraising effort designed to raise a specified amount of money for a particular project or purpose, such as building expansion, renovations, or endowing a program. When community members spread the word, show support, or make even small contributions, it brings us one step closer to our goals. Every action counts, and together, we can make a lasting impact.
The purpose of the Wellness Campus in North Omaha is to create a thriving, interconnected community hub that supports comprehensive wellness from physical health, economic opportunity, housing stability to educational equity. The campus goes beyond keeping pace with North Omaha’s growth but aims to actively lead and shape its future by enhancing quality of life, reducing disparities, and creating lasting opportunities for all North Omaha residents. Building upon the transformative success achieved in the neighborhood, the campus integrates and expands critical community services, providing accessible, high-quality healthcare (including physical, behavioral, and dental care), affordable mixed-income housing, nutritious food options, economic empowerment initiatives, and educational resources.
This campaign is essential to fund the elevation of North Omaha. As the city continues to grow and improve, North Omaha needs and deserves the same level of attention. Expanding services, improving facilities, and providing the community with the essentials needed for a thriving community is vital to the longevity of North Omaha.
We have an aggressive goal to raise all funds by the end of 2026.
