Hey, nonprofit friends! Applications are open one month from today for project grants aimed at helping kids with basic needs – safety, security, a place to live and enough to eat.
We want to make sure every child in Nebraska has access to what is necessary to sustain life and will award grant funds to non-profit partners that identify creative and effective ways to do this. In addition to encouraging applicants to use their local Community Health Improvement Plans (link) to do this, we also provide resources at: https://www.snowredfern.org/nonprofits/.
Since Project Grants are short term funds, they are intended to be used to supplement existing programs or enhance the work nonprofits are doing to alleviate disparities. The three main areas of focus are: basic needs, well-being, and education. Our categories are broad and so are the types of projects we fund!
Last year about 57% of the project grant awards addressed how funds would mitigate food insecurity, housing issues, homelessness, and other unmet basic needs. The remaining awards were given to organizations that addressed well-being and education with clear demonstration of how it met one or more needs for children and young people.

Snow-Redfern Foundation provides financial support to nonprofit partners that offer programs and services that make a life-changing impact for kids in need. As the former Nebraska Boys Ranch, Snow-Redfern Foundation has a rich history in advocating for, protecting, and encouraging youth in need of hope and healing. Though we no longer provide direct care, our commitment to equipping young people with the skills they need to be successful and live a good life remains.
If your nonprofit has short-term projects aimed at helping kids with basic needs, apply for a project grant!
Our goal is simple- support work that supports young people. We do this by providing funding that empowers the work nonprofits do to improve the lives of Nebraska kids.
Last year our focus was on partnering with youth serving organizations to address challenges facing Nebraska youth. There was special attention given to meeting basic needs.
This year, however, we intend to support efforts aimed at improving outcomes for young people. The three main areas of focus are: Basic Needs, Well-Being, and Education.
You are eligible to apply if your organization is a qualified tax exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in good standing within Nebraska. Our favorite partners are those that serve vulnerable and at-risk youth. Additionally, we are hopeful that organizations will align their requests with their local Public Health District’s Community Health Action Plan (CHIP).
Read more about the CHIP connection at https://www.snowredfern.org/2021/05/11/common-threads/.
Our project grant funding is specifically aimed at kids that may need help realizing their potential. We give preference to organizations that serve vulnerable and at-risk populations. This includes children and youth ages 0-18 years that are most vulnerable or at risk of disparities in access, service use, and outcomes.
