Building A Stronger Community, Together!

Amur actively participates in our community in tangible ways that ensure our efforts are centered on the needs of the community. We work with local nonprofits, government officials, and individual community members to identify needs and find practical solutions that work for all stakeholders. Our intentional approach includes both financial and volunteer support beginning at the local level and expanding out nationally. Our local efforts include a public-private partnership with the Railside Business Improvement District in Grand Island, NE to provide significant funding to beautify and renew the Railside Plaza, where the Amur HQ is located.
