On September 8th, the Shickley Community Foundation hosted visitors from the Foundation of Nova Scotia. Daniel Holland, Harley Levy, and Kathleen Murphy came to learn about the affiliated fund model that the Nebraska Community Foundation has in place. While in Shickley, they were given a the Big Little Town tour and spent a couple of hours discussing the operations and activities of the Shickley Community Foundation and its relationship with the Nebraska Community Foundation.
Their trip was a week long information gathering trip with stops in Shickley, Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
