Ideal Applicant
A Nebraska-based nonprofit with an established local track record in human services, food assistance, education, arts/culture, or conservation seeking unrestricted or program support and able to apply via an offline/letter route.
Good Fit
- • Located in Nebraska (Omaha area) or serving Nebraska communities.
- • A history of local service and measurable community impact.
- • Requests in sizes similar to past grants (roughly $1k–$88k with many awards in the $5k–$25k range).
- • Programmatic alignment with food banks, youth services, libraries, museums, arts, or conservation.
- • Ability to submit a concise letter application and, ideally, a local introduction.
Geography
All observed grants across the three-year record were made to recipients in Nebraska, with the foundation's giving concentrated in a single state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 34 distinct recipients (similar counts in prior years) across multiple sectors—human services, food assistance, education, arts, museums and conservation—indicating a broad set of independent grantees for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct turnover exists—new recipients were recorded in recent years (6 in 2023, 4 in 2024)—but the portfolio is dominated by returning grantees (about 88% returning in 2024), and selection appears relationship-influenced; a mailed application route exists, so new entrants are possible but not frequently added.
