The Sherwood Foundation limits grants to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations that predominately benefit those that are serving Nebraska and must address one of their categories:
- Urban Community Partnerships: Work in Nebraska’s urban communities focuses on family stability and child wellbeing with an overarching emphasis on community context. Using a two-generation approach, they are interested in the relationship between direct service provision and the greater systems that impact a community. Applicants are wise to cite specific research that influences a service model or approach to solving a community challenge.
- Omaha Public Schools: Guidelines:
- OPS employees must obtain approval from the District before submitting an application.
- Applications lacking such documentation will not receive consideration.
- Greater Nebraska Initiatives: Through these grants, The Sherwood Foundation promotes equity and inclusion as pathways for creating the good life for all in Nebraska. Core areas of work include child welfare, immigrant inclusion, housing, advocacy & civic engagement, leadership, and community infrastructure. Requests from communities outside of the Omaha and Lincoln metro areas are considered during standard grant cycles.
- Early Childhood Education: The Sherwood Foundation supports early childhood education on a regional and national basis through The Buffett Early Childhood Fund.
The Sherwood Foundation limits grants to organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), government entities, schools, or churches that are serving Nebraska. These organizations must be in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service.
