MORE INFO

The Omaha Community Foundation awarded a total of $664,994 to 86 organizations in the 2025 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
• Refugee Community Grant 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.
