Summary
This funding supports nonprofit organizations that provide educational programs for young children—typically up to 12 years old—in Nebraska and Iowa. Each year, up to three grants are awarded, sharing a total pool of approximately $25,000. Individual awards may vary in size, but generally fall within that range.
Eligible applicants are public 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Applicants must provide direct childhood educational services to underserved youth in early childhood or elementary-aged settings. The grant explicitly excludes funding for general operating expenses; awards are meant for specific programmatic activities. Organizations must also adhere to a non‑discrimination policy covering race, creed, ability, gender identity, and more.Each cycle opens annually from June 1 to July 15, with recipients notified by September. While organizations can apply every year, an individual nonprofit may receive funding only once every three years.
The grant is intended to enhance educational programming—such as early literacy, enrichment activities, or experiential learning opportunities—aimed primarily at underserved children. It’s ideal for organizations looking to launch or expand targeted educational offerings without relying on infrastructure or long‑term operational budgets. In recent years, the fund collectively contributed over $25,000 annually, supporting local programs such as arts integration, after‑school read-aloud sessions, and youth enrichment hubs. By investing in educational programming rather than administrative costs, the fund seeks to create meaningful, measurable impact in early learning for children who might otherwise lack access.
In summary, this modest but focused grant supports nonprofits with annual awards totaling around $25,000, meant for targeted childhood education projects that directly serve underserved learners, with each recipient funded on a rotating basis.
