Douglas County Philanthropy

A Stronger Foundation for Local Giving

Why We Exist

Douglas County Philanthropy exists to help local generosity work better — for nonprofits, businesses, donors, and professional advisors who care deeply about this community and want their giving to have lasting impact.

Douglas County is one of the most generous communities in the country. Yet local giving often feels fragmented, inefficient, and exhausting.

Nonprofits compete for attention instead of coordinating.
Businesses are overwhelmed by requests and lack consistent giving practices.
Donors and advisors want local impact but don’t always know where or how to engage with confidence.

The challenge is not generosity.
It’s infrastructure, relationships, and clarity.

Douglas County Philanthropy exists to strengthen the systems and relationships that support local giving — so generosity can move with intention, trust, and shared purpose for a stronger Douglas County.
