An MOU or a “Memorandum of Understanding” is an agreement between two or more parties outlined in a formal document. It is not legally binding but signals the willingness of the parties to move forward with a contract.

Any group with at least three active organizers that does their work in Omaha is eligible for the mini-grant.

• Purchasing supplies
• Renting event equipment
• Providing food for events
• Printing costs to promote events
• Compensation for artists or contractors. If you are interested in using a contractor to complete your work, we prefer to fund small artists, designers, etc., rather than funding large corporations.

Grant funds can NOT be used for lobbying (urging people to support or oppose certain legislation) or for promoting or opposing certain candidates running for office.

You do not need to indicate a community partner if you do not have one, but we love to see increased collaboration between community groups so we encourage folks to think about how they could use these funds to increase collaboration.

If you are interested in learning more about potential partnerships, reach out to us, and we would be happy to brainstorm and connect you with other organizers and groups.
