Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County
Annual Giving

All In,
Neighbors.

Showing up changes everything. Your support helps children, families and neighbors build connections, find opportunities and take their next steps.

Be All In. Give Today.

Community Navigators work alongside neighbors to connect them with resources and opportunities.

Every neighbor deserves someone in their corner.

At Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, strong neighborhoods grow through relationships: a trusted person to turn to, a welcoming place to learn and someone willing to walk alongside you.

All In, Neighbors connects NCJC's annual fundraising, from individual and monthly gifts to our Spring Gala, GivingTuesday and year-end appeals.

However you choose to give, you help make everyday moments of connection and opportunity possible for neighbors across our community.

Sometimes, the next step starts with
someone showing up.

A story from our neighborhoods

A next step toward home.

This fall, a neighbor who had been living in his car took an important step toward securing housing. He had made an appointment and arrived early, but language barriers and paperwork made the process difficult.

Ayman Sharif, a Community Navigator at NCJC, accompanied him. Together, they navigated the application, gathered information and found answers.

They couldn't determine the housing decision. But the neighbor completed an important step toward finding a home, and he didn't have to do it alone.

That same commitment to showing up for neighbors runs through NCJC's early childhood education, youth development, family support and community engagement programs.
