For more information on Midlands Community Foundation’s Grants Program, contact us at info@midlandscommunity.org

Organizations seeking Foundation funding must meet the following criteria:

The organization must provide services in the MCF's geographic area, specifically Sarpy and Cass counties, to be considered for support.

The organization must qualify as a nonprofit federally tax-exempt organization under the regulations of the United States Internal Revenue Service.

As a general rule, the Foundation does not support grant requests for:

General operating expenses, debt reduction or general or administrative overhead expenses. Direct aid to individuals/families.

Projects of religion-based organizations (unless the project is secular and does not give priority or preferential treatment to the religious organization or its members).

Political organizations or projects.

Dinners, tickets, conferences.

Tax supported activities identified by the Foundation as being the responsibility of federal, state, and local governments.

Organizations with an “active” grant may not apply. An “active” grant is a grant that has been awarded but not expended. This grant will not be considered “closed” until a final report has been received on the project or organization for which the grant was provided.
