As 2023 comes to a close, we reflect on a year filled with incredible growth, collaboration, and profound impact. At Matters on Tomorrow, we believe in fostering opportunities that create lasting change—and this year, together with our supporters and partners, we’ve done just that.
One of the standout achievements of this year was the founding of the Nebraska Startup Academy. This initiative holds the promise of nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship in our community, setting the stage for a brighter future. Additionally, through the support of the Eighmy Foundation, we invested $140,000 into Custer County and across Nebraska, strengthening our shared vision of vibrant, thriving communities.
Globally, our reach extended to Rwanda through Sparks4Change Rwanda, where we provided room, board, and tuition for four students, empowering them to pursue their dreams. Locally, education remained a cornerstone of our mission, as we awarded 12 scholarships through the Latino Summit Scholarship and 56 full college scholarships through True Potential—unlocking the doors of higher education for so many bright, deserving students.
The year also saw the expansion of our inclusive programming. Five participants engaged in Bike Camp and summer adaptive bike training, and 111 individuals joined Dancing Beyond Limits, an adaptive dance class that celebrates movement and joy for all abilities. These programs are made possible through the dedication of nearly 100 volunteers who fuel our mission with their time, energy, and heart.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making 2023 a remarkable year. Together, we are building a tomorrow that truly matters.
