We are Uncover VC

In 2013, lifelong friends Brent Lager and Brent Lobdell from Kansas City began a search for a meaningful way to give back to their community. It took two frustrating months of research and unreturned phone calls and emails before their search was over. They knew there had to be a better way — if it was easier to find fulfilling ways to give back, more people would do it. Uncover KC was born.

In the first five years, their mission led to 20,000 volunteers, 50,000 service hours, and $1.3 million saved by area nonprofits. Uncover KC has since become a vital collective impact organization, creating programs and services that bring together individuals, businesses, nonprofits, foundations, education, and government to work more efficiently toward common goals for maximum impact and a stronger community. That is what Uncover is all about — impact.

Then, in early 2024, the dream expanded to new parts of the country, including Daytona Beach. After several months of research, exploration and planning, Uncover Volusia County officially launched.

None of this would be possible without the dedication, passion, and combined effort of a small but mighty full-time staff, volunteers, board of directors, advisory members, donors, and supporters. Together, they create the supportive, inclusive culture that continuously breeds innovation, creativity, and growth.
