What We Do

ENCAP provides high-impact programs to help people get ahead.

Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership (ENCAP) has been serving Douglas County and Sarpy County as a 501c3 nonprofit organization since 1965.

As the area's designated Community Action Agency, we assess local needs to determine where we can have the greatest impact, work closely with our partners to create lasting change, and adapt what we do as community conditions change.

Individuals or families trust ENCAP as an organization ready to help them during a crisis, and that will walk with them as they build the skills, hope, and social capital they need to reach a brighter future.
