Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-size charities and community organizations (particularly in Nebraska) seeking general support or capital/building grants, often for one-time projects or modest operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Nebraska or providing services primarily in Nebraska.
- • Requests for modest general support or building/capital pledges (many recent grants were under $5K, with some $5K–$15K awards).
- • Local community foundations, hospitals, education programs, youth services, or grassroots human-service organizations.
- • Ability to be known or introduced to foundation leadership or nominated by a local intermediary.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in one state—about 82% of dollars and roughly 85% of grants—yet the latest year included recipients in six states, so the footprint is largely state-focused with some out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 39 distinct recipients (34 of them new that year), and across three years only five recipients recurred, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the latest year shows many new grantees (34 new recipients), which suggests turnover and entry for new organizations; however the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and no public application/contact route or website was found, so direct access by unfamiliar applicants appears limited.
