Community Projects

One of the benefits of ACE is it can return revenues that exceed the cost of operating the not-for-profit organization back to its member communities.

Each community decides how these funds are used. Over the years, ACE returned more than $1,194,000 to its member communities. These funds are used to enhance the quality of life for many Nebraskans. Here’s a sample of projects made possible by ACE funds:
