Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Early childhood education and early literacy, Nebraska-wide
  • Omaha capital projects: schools, parks, community facilities, libraries
  • Multi-year operating grants for Nebraska advocacy and civil rights groups
  • Youth development, out-of-school programs, juvenile justice reform
  • Sexual and reproductive health, domestic violence, family planning
  • Immigrant legal services and Latino community organizations

Typical grant

Median grant is $76,000 with the middle half between $38,850 and $235,843, so most of the portfolio is modest. The money is heavily top-loaded: a handful of checks between $5 million and $15 million go to early childhood infrastructure and Omaha capital projects like the North Stadium/Butler Gast YMCA project and Southside Redevelopment. Operating grants to trusted Nebraska organizations repeat year over year, often labeled by the next calendar year, and several grantees receive a base grant plus a separate 'additional operating funds' award in the same cycle.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • 2026 OPERATING GRANT
  • CAPITAL GRANT
  • ADDITIONAL OPERATING FUNDS
  • CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
  • DONATION OF PROPERTY

Positioning adjacent work

  • Anchor to early childhood, early literacy, or youth wellbeing; these draw both the largest and most repeated checks.
  • Ask in the $50,000 to $250,000 range for a first request unless you have a capital project.
  • Frame the request as general operating support for a named future year, not a restricted project budget.
  • Name Omaha, Douglas County, or a specific Nebraska community; statewide or national framing rarely lands here.

Worth knowing: This is a Nebraska funder first and an Omaha funder above all: 2,418 of 2,686 grants went to Nebraska recipients, and out-of-state giving concentrates in Iowa's Okoboji area, DC policy groups, and a few national partners with Omaha programs. Giving looks strongly relationship-driven, with organizations like Buffett Early Childhood Fund, Justice for Our Neighbors Nebraska, Collective for Youth, and University of Nebraska Foundation appearing repeatedly and at scale.
