Building Bright Futures is a comprehensive public-private partnership that seeks to improve academic performance, raise graduation rates, and increase civic and community responsibility in the Omaha Metropolitan area of Douglas and Sarpy Counties.  Building Bright Futures is a nonprofit - 501(c)(3).

Building Bright Futures is focused on goals of improving academic achievement gaps between students of different socio economic groups, increasing high school graduation rates and providing access to high-quality education to those in the two-county area.

Building Bright Futures was started in 2006 to address challenges students in Douglas and Sarpy Counties were facing and then worked to find ways to provide needed support and services to those students.  One need was supporting students during and after high school to continue through higher education and into the workforce.  Bright Futures Foundation was then started in January 2008 to support students of talent and financial need to reach their goals after high school.  For more information on the Bright Futures Foundation, visit http://www.bffoundation.com/.
