About
Alexander Christian Foundation (ACF) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization created in 1990 to raise funds for college scholarships. We are a completely volunteer Foundation. Therefore, all of the proceeds from fund raising efforts go toward fulffilling the mission of the Foundation. Contributions would be considered tax deductible to the contributor because of the tax status of the Foundation.
Our mission is raising funds to provide $1000 scholarships to academically outstanding Christian young people from Nebraska who are attending college in preparation for Christian service in any vocational field. Our goal is to provide as many scholarships as possible, based on the fund raising efforts of the Foundation.

Nate Kellison
Nate Kellison joined the Alexander Christian Foundation of Nebraska golf committee in 2008 after his father, Ralph Kellison, passed away. Ralph was a long-time ACF golf committee member all the way up until his passing. Nate, along with his Dad, Mom, Brother, and other relatives have played in the ACF tournament every year since it's beginning in 1990. He was also a recipient of the ACF Scholarship multiple times while he was attending college. Nate is excited to be able to follow in his Dad's footsteps and work with so many smart, talented, and hard-working people on the ACF golf committee. And he hopes to be able to give back to the ACF what the ACF has given to him.
