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

Academic affiliate transfers to UNMC Physicians faculty practice plan
Support payments to University of Nebraska Board of Regents
Clarkson Regional Health Services and Clarkson College operating support
Omaha community health nonprofits and disease-specific charities
Immigrant services, food access, and youth organizations in Omaha

Typical grant

Four affiliated entities take more than 99.9 percent of the dollars, with UNMC Physicians alone running $185M to $219M a year and the Board of Regents $106M to $112M. Everything else is small: median $16,525, with the middle half between $9,069 and $57,608, and a practical ceiling around $200,000 to $300,000 for the largest community checks. The community giving repeats reliably year over year, with American Cancer Society, Immigrant Legal Center, Greater Omaha Chamber Foundation, Hope Medical Outreach Coalition, No More Empty Pots, and March of Dimes appearing in multiple filings at similar amounts.

Their words

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

“General Support”
“UNMC Physicians”
“University of Nebraska Board of Regents”
“Clarkson”
“Omaha, NE”

Positioning adjacent work

Route research through a UNMC or Board of Regents appointment; that is where nearly all money legally flows.
For a standalone nonprofit ask, size it $7,500 to $50,000, not six figures.
Anchor to funded themes: cancer, maternal and infant health, immigrant health access, food security.
Serve Omaha and the Nebraska-western Iowa corridor explicitly; out-of-state grants are rare and small.

Worth knowing: This is a health system's 990-PF, not a conventional grantmaker: the giant numbers are intra-system transfers to UNMC Physicians, the Board of Regents, Clarkson Regional Health Services, and Clarkson College, and no outside applicant competes for them. The remaining few million reads as sponsorship and community benefit giving, heavily Omaha-concentrated (90 of 137 grants in Nebraska) and driven by existing relationships that renew at roughly the same amount each year.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
