SHARE Omaha turns 3 years old!
On January 17, 2022, SHARE Omaha turns three years old! It’s been thrilling to see the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro welcome this multi-functional giving platform and expand what it means to be generous – with time, dollars and items.
We’ve seen good happen every day, for over 1,000 days, as local supporters get connected to the causes that matter most to them throughout eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa. The generosity has been overwhelming in these first three years, supporting over 650 organizations, and we can’t wait to see what big things you make happen next.
You may know, Omaha was the second metropolitan area in the country to launch a nonprofit organization utilizing Share Good’s innovative software, the first metropolitan being Charlotte, North Carolina. This technology has allowed SHARE Omaha to grow quickly to offer greater visibility for nonprofits of all sizes on an equal playing field.

HIGHLIGHTS:
As we enter 2022 with enthusiasm, SHARE Omaha will continue to serve this eight-county metro region in Nebraska and southwest Iowa. We will continue to expand upon our mission of helping local nonprofits fulfill their missions, year-round, by connecting everyday philanthropists - YOU - to easy ways to do good.
WHAT’S NEXT: Do Good Days, May 10-12, 2022. We can't wait to share more about this celebration of all forms of generosity including donations and volunteerism!
