Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE NEBRASKA CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY MISSION IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT, ENDURING CONNECTIONS, AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT HELP FAMILIES THRIVE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT, ENDURING CONNECTIONS, AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT HELP FAMILIES THRIVE.

  • FOSTER CARE. AS A LICENSED CHILD PLACING AGENCY, NEBRASKA CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY RECRUITS, TRAINS AND SUPPORTS FOSTER PARENTS WHO OPEN THEIR HOMES TO CHILDREN WHO NEED SPECIALIZED CARE. MOST CHILDREN IN CARE HAVE BEEN ABUSED OR NEGLECTED IN THEIR BIOLOGICAL HOMES AND MANY ARE MEDICALLY FRAGILE OR HAVE SERIOUS HEALTH RELATED NEEDS. PERMANENCY IS A PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE FOSTER CARE PROGRAM. THROUGH A CIRCLE OF CARE COMPONENT, IN-HOME SERVICES PROVIDE RESOURCES, SUPPORT AND SKILL BUILDING FOR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS SO THAT CHILDREN CAN RETURN HOME IF POSSIBLE. WHEN RELATIVES ARE ABLE TO CARE FOR THE CHILDREN, SUPPORT IS PROVIDED TO KINSHIP HOMES. WHEN ADOPTION IS THE PLAN, FOSTER PARENTS OR RELATIVES ARE THE FIRST CHOICE FOR A PERMANENT HOME AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF WORK WITH CHILDREN AND RELATIVE/FOSTER FAMILIES TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL. FOR OTHER CHILDREN, A FAMILY FINDING APPROACH IDENTIFIES PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE HOMES AND GUIDES CHILDREN AND FAMILIES DOWN THE ROAD TO PERMANENCY.

    Expenses $6,197,226 · Grants $842,195 · Revenue $5,978,635

  • CHILDREN AND FAMILY CENTER. THE NEBRASKA CHILDREN'S HOME CHILDREN AND FAMILY CENTER (CFC) IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BASED RESOURCE FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN AN AREA WHERE FAMILIES FACE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES INCLUDING POVERTY, LOW SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES, VIOLENCE AND LACK OF SERVICES. WITH A FOCUS ON FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND TEENS, THE CFC PROVIDES AN ARRAY OF SERVICES TO IMPROVE THE CAPACITY OF CHILDREN TO ENJOY PRODUCTIVE AND FULFILLING LIVES BY STRENGTHENING, SUPPORTING AND PRESERVING FAMILIES. PROGRAMS FOR PARENTS FOCUS ON PREPARATION FOR PARENTHOOD AND PROVIDE SUPPORT AND SKILL TRAINING FOR PARENTS OR RELATIVES AS CARETAKERS. TEEN PROGRAMS PROVIDE SMALL GROUP SETTINGS THAT FOCUS ON MENTORING, COACHING AND TEACHING LIFE SKILLS WITH OUTCOMES THAT INCLUDE PERSONAL GOAL SETTING, POSITIVE DECISION MAKING, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND PREGNANCY PREVENTION. A COMMUNITY GARDEN IS A HEALTHY RESOURCE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

  • PREGNANCY, PARENTING AND ADOPTION. NEBRASKA CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY REACHES OUT TO INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY AND PROVIDES FREE, CONFIDENTIAL SUPPORT AND EDUCATION TO ASSIST THEM IN DEVELOPING EITHER A PARENTING OR ADOPTION PLAN. WHEN PARENTING IS THE PLAN, STAFF PROVIDES SUPPORT, EDUCATION AND ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING NEEDED RESOURCES. WHEN ADOPTION IS THE PLAN, SERVICES FOCUS ON ADOPTION AS A LIFE LONG PROCESS AND PROVIDE ONGOING EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FOR BIRTH PARENTS, ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND THE CHILD. THERE IS NEVER ANY CHARGE FOR PREGNANCY OR ADOPTION SERVICES. POST ADOPTION SERVICES PROVIDE COUNSELING, EDUCATION AND SUPPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE ADOPTION CIRCLE, AS WELL AS SEARCH SERVICES TO ASSIST ADOPTEES, BIRTH PARENTS AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS IN THE ADOPTION CIRCLE.

  • EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTERS. IN RECOGNITION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EARLY YEARS OF CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT AS A FOUNDATION FOR LATER SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND LIFE, THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTERS' FOCUS IS ON DEVELOPING CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE, PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SKILLS. THE CENTERS PROVIDE A SECURE AND CARING ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN WHILE PARENTS ARE AT WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL. THE EVIDENCE-BASED CREATIVE CURRICULUM PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR STAFF TO NURTURE AND PROMOTE THE INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND LEARNING OF INFANTS, TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
