Hello! It’s nice to meet you.

We are a non-profit foundation based in Kearney, Nebraska that is dedicated to creating a more positive and healthy community. After losing McKenna Rae Johnson in 2017, it became clear that we need to do more to alleviate mental illness, reduce stigma, and make wellness more accessible to everyone.

We believe the best way to get involved is to get really involved. That’s why Rae of Hope has been a prominent figure in Kearney and its surrounding areas since our inception in 2017. We keep busy with:

  • our scholarship programs

  • hosting a variety of community events

  • providing inspirational speakers

  • providing free Mental Health First Aid training

  • assisting campus organizations

  • working with local partners

  • contributing to Kearney’s crisis center

  • and so much more.
