MORE INFO
The Omaha Community Foundation awarded a total of $845,000 to 90 local nonprofits and neighborhood groups in the 2024 grant cycle.
Grants made through our Community Interest Funds are strategic investments meant to increase access and equity. We ask community members to lead grant processes using their own power and understanding.
These resident-led grantmaking programs include:
- African American Unity Fund
- Futuro Latino Fund
- LGBTQIA2S+ Equality Fund

Each committee is made up of residents who come from or identify with the population being served. They review proposals and decide which projects to fund based on the needs they are seeing in their community.
