Funding available through Women Investing in Nebraska
The University of Nebraska and Nebraska nonprofit organizations may submit funding ideas to Women Investing in Nebraska for grant awards in 2023. Grants are awarded based on critical needs being addressed, the people the project serves and the impact made on Nebraskans.
Grant seekers must submit an online letter of inquiry by Feb. 15 through the Women Investing in Nebraska website.
Based on submissions, WIN will invite 12 to 16 grant seekers to provide formal grant proposals. Grant seekers must be a part of the University of Nebraska system or be a Nebraska nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity.
The amount granted will be based on the total amount of gifts received in 2023 from WIN members. WIN will announce its grant awards in fall 2023. For more information and questions, grant seekers may contact WIN by email.
WIN awarded a total of $185,100 to two programs for its 2022 grants season. A grant was awarded to the University of Nebraska at Kearney to support its College Readiness for Hispanics Program, and a grant was awarded to the Child Advocacy Center to develop a new medical clinic in York.
WIN operates in partnership with the University of Nebraska Foundation and the UNF Charitable Gift Fund to support women philanthropists. The UNF Charitable Gift Fund is a nonprofit organization affiliated with the University of Nebraska Foundation.
