By Women Investing in Nebraska
Grants are awarded based on the 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. 13, 2024, at womeninvestinginnebraska.org.
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.
“WIN is proud to partner each year with organizations that are tackling important issues that matter to Nebraskans, and we’re pleased to again request ideas for funding as we enter our 13th year of philanthropic service to the state,” WIN Chair Meg Lauerman said.
For more information, grant seekers may contact WIN at [email protected].
WIN awarded a total of $220,684 to two programs for its 2023 grants season. Grants were awarded to the University of Nebraska College of Law Children’s Justice Clinic, which provides legal representation to vulnerable Nebraska children; and to the Nebraska Panhandle Area Health Education Center in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, which seeks to grow the rural healthcare workforce pipeline.
A total of 259 WIN members contributed personally to make the grants possible, and committee members reviewed proposals in a four-step process culminating in a membership vote for the two recipients. WIN’s membership is comprised of women in and outside Nebraska who, through their collective giving, address issues that matter to Nebraskans.
