GREAT
DONATION OPPORTUNITY!
Nishna Productions, Inc. is currently involved in an
extremely worthwhile project called “The Nishna Productions, Inc. Vocational
Training Center Project.” The project involves the construction of a new
facility at 210 South Broadway in Red Oak. The purpose of the project is
threefold: (1) The new building will offer a work area large enough to
efficiently accommodate all current and future business work contracts and the
Red Oak Public Redemption Center; (2) It will provide a new dimension of
vocational opportunities to people with disabilities with the implementation of
a commercial laundry operation; and (3) It will allow the current facility at
207 South 3rd Street to be used to enhance adult day care services to
individuals with disabilities in less-crowded conditions through expansion into
the areas previously occupied by the vocational area. Construction on the
project will begin this spring (2011).
The project is estimated to cost $1,590,750. As of this
date, $1,357,445 has been made available for the project through several grants
and fundraising efforts. A loan with USDA for $426,000 is in place. Nishna
Productions, Inc., however, needs to raise an additional $233,305 to be able to
fully fund the project.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone to make a
charitable contribution to an extremely worthwhile project.
Campaign History
At Nishna Productions, Inc., every day is about making a
positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities. In 2005, funding
was needed to support some special projects that would greatly enhance the lives
of people with disabilities. However, with the rising costs of goods and
services, Nishna Productions, Inc., was financially unable to complete some of
those necessary projects. Thus, the agency targeted certain special projects
that needed funding and developed a fundraising campaign titled “Builders of
Lives.”

In November of 2007, Nishna Productions, Inc. established
an Endowment Fund through the Greater Shenandoah Foundation in Shenandoah. This
endowment fund will enable Nishna Productions, Inc. to draw the income from the
endowment fund for capital expenditures, such as building renovations and
repairs and the purchase of equipment and supplies to benefit the individuals
with disabilities receiving services from the agency. The endowment fund will
also help assure the long term viability of Nishna Productions, Inc.
Donors can make donations to this fund through
the Greater Shenandoah Foundation, but specifically for the Nishna Productions,
Inc. Endowment Fund. Donors can also make donations directly to Nishna
Productions, Inc. and specify that the donation be added to this endowment fund.
Contributors to this endowment fund may

types of gifts.
The Greater Shenandoah Foundation is a
tax-exempt, charitable foundation authorized under Internal Revenue Code 501c(3)
to accept tax-deductible donations, grants, and bequests which can be then used
to fund worthy projects, institutions, and charitable causes. Even though the
Nishna Productions’ funds are being maintained and managed by the Greater
Shenandoah Foundation, the proceeds from these funds will be used to benefit all
Nishna Productions’ operations in Page, Fremont, Montgomery and Mills counties.
These funds will not be restricted to usage only in Shenandoah or Page County.
