NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — NebraskaLand Bank employees donated $18,900 to area nonprofit organizations through the bank’s annual “My Fair Share” program, an employee-driven charitable initiative that has supported communities since 2004.
The program allows employees to voluntarily contribute a portion of their paychecks to nonprofit organizations serving the communities where the bank operates. In 2025, funds raised will be distributed to eight organizations: Bridge of Hope, Make-A-Wish Nebraska, the Autism Society of Nebraska, McKenna’s Rae of Hope, Kearney Animal Shelter, Kearney Area Community Foundation, Hospice of Sweetwater County, and Sweetwater Family Resource Center.
NebraskaLand Bank will recognize this year’s recipients during a breakfast and check presentation at its North Platte, Kearney, and Rock Springs locations. The North Platte presentation is scheduled for February 13 at 8:30 a.m. at NebraskaLand Bank, 1400 South Dewey Street, in the main lobby on the first floor.
The “My Fair Share” program reflects the bank’s long-standing culture of community involvement, with employees nominating organizations and committing financial support throughout the year.
“For the past 22 years, our employees have stepped up and contributed a portion of their own funds to worthy charitable organizations in the communities where we are located, and I am incredibly proud of each person who has made this program a success. In 2025, the My Fair Share Campaign collected more than $18,900 for causes in North Platte, Kearney and Rock Springs, Wyoming. Community-minded isn’t just a slogan—it’s our culture. Congratulations to this year’s recipients and to the employees who made this possible,” said Mike Jacobson, President and CEO of NebraskaLand Bank.
Since the program began, NebraskaLand Bank employees have donated approximately $250,000 to nonprofit organizations.
