NorthStar is an Omaha foundation dedicated to meeting the critical, unmet needs of North Omaha’s young males – from fourth grade to high school graduation – in, before, and after school programming with the goal of successfully building them into healthy, educated, employed contributors to their community. ==History== The NorthStar Foundation 501 (c)(3) was created in August 2007 by Scott Hazelrigg in partnership with the Board of Directors to address some of Greater Omaha’s greatest needs in before and after school programming.
