In 2024, a new program was initiated by volunteers in our community for the youth in our community. The Haigler Village Youth Activity Center is housed at the Cornerstone Center for Community Service and meets every Saturday afternoon for program activities. Most all of the expenses for this new program have come through donations.

The Haigler Community Foundation, in cooperation with other community entities and property owners, continues to lead the way for cleanup and demolition of nuisance properties in the village of Haigler. The Haigler Image project continues.

The Haigler Community Foundation worked in partnership with the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation to purchase museum software programs that will enable us to do museum collection management much more efficiently, take photos of museum collections, track our donors, and much more. All of our museums have grown so much that purchasing museum software became a must do.
