HISTORYFremont, Nebraska has a proud history of creating and maintaining a beautiful community. Many years ago there was an Architectural Review Committee whose members advised City Officials on building conditions within the community. In the mid to late 1970's, the Architectural Review Committee became the Mayor's Beautification Committee.
The Mayor's Beautification Committee worked directly with the City Government to determine ways to create a cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful community. In 1983, the Mayor's Beautification Committee was renamed the Keep Fremont Beautiful Committee and was certified as a Keep American Beautiful Affiliate. In 2008, Keep Fremont Beautiful began the process of obtaining the 501c3 nonprofit designation through the IRS. The Keep Fremont Beautiful Committee became Keep Fremont Beautiful, Inc. in March of 2010. |
FUNDINGAs a non-profit organization, funding for our programming comes from various grant awards, the Keep Fremont Beautiful Partners Association, City of Fremont, Department of Utilities, and Dodge County. Both the Litter Reduction and Recycling Grant Program and the Waste Reduction and Recycling Incentive Grants Program administered through the Nebraska Department of Environmental and Energy are major funding sources for KFB.
