High Plains Community Development Corporation

Since 1995, High Plains Community Development Corporation (High Plains CDC) has provided opportunity and equity for the rural communities of the High Plains of northwest Nebraska, just south of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota bordering Wyoming.

As a key agency promoting sustainable change through rural economic development, High Plains CDC was interested in determining key opportunities for stability and growth within their own organization. The organizational assessment was key to helping them think through critical issues and develop new resources.

"Engaging NeighborWorks Organizational Assessment Services has been a major help as we analyze our capacity for future development and change. The board and staff saw the assessment as a great tool to help us continue to be a viable organization in a remote rural area when federal funding cuts are impacting rural community organizations that lack private resources."
