The Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund officers announced they will expand relief efforts to include beef cattle producers who were affected by all fires reported through the Nebraska Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Watch Center, instead of only those affected by the Road 739 Fire.

Officers also extended the deadline to accept monetary donations from May 31, 2022, to June 30, 2022.

The Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization and donations made to the Disaster Relief Fund may be tax deductible – a receipt will be sent upon deposit of funds. Those donating should consult with their tax advisor for final determination.

Funds will only be distributed to producers who experienced property loss or damage in areas where a fire was reported through the NEMA Watch Center.

Applications will be made available soon for those needing to apply for disaster relief, and an announcement will be made when the application period opens. Membership in Nebraska Cattlemen is not required for future applicants to receive relief.

Individuals who would like to donate either online or by mailing a check, please visit www.nebraskacattlemen.org/disaster-relief-fund.
