More Info
We strongly encourage coalitions and informal groups led by people of color to apply. You do not need a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or a fiscal sponsor to receive funding.
Applicants are notified of funding decisions within 24 hours. Grant awards are decided on by One Omaha staff and funds are sent via check within one week.
Who is One Omaha?
One Omaha builds tools and resources to support community-led projects. We know Omaha has a deep-rooted history of covert and overt racism. Redlining, racial covenants, and housing discrimination are a few practices among many that contribute to why our organization exists – we serve people aspiring to reverse the effects of racism in their neighborhood that are still present.
