What's happening:
Kearney Combat Security System Upgrade
Kearney Combat is a local martial arts and fitness facility committed to building discipline, strength, and community in Kearney, Nebraska. With rising equipment investments and increased youth programming, the gym has seen a need for enhanced security after-hours and during non-peak times.
Why It Matters:
Installing a reliable security camera system will protect valuable gear, ensure student safety, and give parents and staff peace of mind. As the gym continues to grow, this system is a foundational step in sustaining a secure, community-forward environment.

Why we exist.
The Backyard Fund exists to help local businesses grow—without debt, delays, or disruption. Every project is vetted to make sure it’s real, necessary, and ready to go.
Think: security systems for a gym, signage for boutiques, kitchen upgrades for a coffee shop, or new tools for a start-up concept.
These are things owners usually fund out of pocket—or push off until later. We help them do it now, without cutting into payroll or raising prices.
It’s about helping strong businesses stay strong—while they keep serving the community.
This is how neighborhoods build each other up.
