Mini-Grant

The Mini-Grant

The purpose of the One Omaha mini-grant is to lower the barriers to entry to creating change in Omaha. We provide funding quickly and directly to local community-based groups looking to create positive change in Omaha.

Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in funding. 

Apply below for One Omaha’s 2026 Mini-Grant to help create change in Omaha!

Applications are open from September 1st- September 30th. Awardees, chosen by a community board, will be announced on October 22nd. Recipients will have until September 2027 to complete their projects.
