University of Nebraska organizations or groups that strive to address critical community needs or make a significant local or state impact with their programs may now submit funding ideas to Women Investing in Nebraska (WIN).
For information and to submit an online letter of inquiry for consideration, go to womeninvestinginnebraska.org by March 1.
WIN will award two grants this year of equal value:
- One grant will be awarded to an organization or group affiliated with the University of Nebraska; and
- A second grant will be awarded to a charitable organization operating in Nebraska and not affiliated with NU.
Each grant award will be $65,000 or greater.
WIN was established in 2011 by the University of Nebraska Foundation and its women in philanthropy committee to connect women and involve them in local philanthropy.
“Each of us involved with Women Investing in Nebraska is looking forward to our inaugural grant funding year,” said Lisa Smith, chair of WIN’s executive committee. “We especially hope to hear from Nebraska organizations with bold, innovative ideas or ventures.”
