Advisors Who Listen & Care
Our team–led by Chris Raun and supported by Planned Giving Officers Scott Yates and Chaz Zurcher and Director of Operations Melanie Kottwitz–is passionate about fulfilling the Foundation’s mission.
The Catholic Foundation of Southern Nebraska was established in 1999 to help schools, parishes, and Catholic organizations meet their financial needs. As the Foundation has expanded, so too has our expertise in supporting individuals with charitable giving and planned gifts.
Today, we help faithful donors through education, strategic financial planning, estate planning, and fund management. Moreover, investments made through the Foundation are carefully screened to ensure they align with Catholic morals and teachings. Our goal is to help you define charitable objectives, identify opportunities, and facilitate gifts to Catholic and other worthy beneficiaries.
All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change.
