At Ogallala Commons, we are about "Developing leaders who help human and natural communities to thrive." Together, we will support communities as they work to reinvigorate their future building a vibrant network of rural communities. Thank you for donating today!
Ogallala Commons works to reinvigorate the commonwealth that forms the basis of our assets. Simply put, Ogallala Commons helps communities "to do together what no one community can do alone." Our mission is carried out through a 4-part approach:
Weaving a collaborative network of diverse partners
Building an education outreach through our major programs, workshops, and digital tools
Fostering a sense of place to instill meaning and inspire stewardship for our landscapes and hometowns, and
Rebuilding commonwealth communities to sustain people and the land
During its initial decade of operation, Ogallala Commons launched projects in renewable energy education, water conservation, rebuilding local food systems, youth engagement, and community developments, all projects connected to 12 Key Assets of Commonwealth.

Ogallala Commons is an education and leadership organization that builds vibrant Great Plains communities by reinvigorating the 12 key assets of Commonwealth at the core of all of our communities. Stimulating sustainable economic growth and stability.
Ogallala Commons, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization providing education and leadership to build vibrant communities in the Great Plains region. Our service area is centered over the High Plains-Ogallala Aquifer (see map and state boundaries to the right), but also extends west into the Rocky Mountains region, and east to the river-braided prairies. The Ogallala Aquifer is a tremendous gift of groundwater that intertwines all human and natural communities living in this unified area of the Great Plains, even though we are politically and culturally sectioned into eight different states.
Ogallala Commons is shaped and directed by a 9-member Board of Directors, assisted by an Advisory Council and a small staff--men and women leaders from 6 states in the High Plains-Ogallala Aquifer region-leaders who follow the vision of Ogallala Commons and build it into an operational community resource network.
