The Allan and Ann MacTier Charitable Foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost exclusively on a single education institution in the Omaha area, making repeat, sizable gifts to Phoenix Academy. Their giving appears place-based and institutional — focused on sustaining one local academy rather than a diversified portfolio of causes or beneficiaries.
Highly concentrated giving: a small number of large, repeat grants directed to one core grantee rather than many small or diversified awards.
Notable grantees: Phoenix Academy
The Allan and Ann Mactier Charitable Foundation’s giving is dominated by one recurring relationship: Phoenix Academy received $210,000 in both 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that supports institutional continuity rather than broad, one-off grantmaking. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation also backs Omaha-based civic and cultural organizations, including Opera Omaha Inc, Omaha Symphony Association, Kaneko, and the Omaha Community Playhouse Foundation. Its portfolio is concentrated enough to show clear priorities, yet varied enough to include education, arts, health, and local community institutions. Creighton University Rowing Team, Omaha Zoological Society, JDRF International, and the Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter all appear in the recent-gifts record, alongside support for Sienna Francis House and Chi Health Foundation. The foundation’s grants are frequently repeated across years, often at the same amount or within a narrow range, which suggests a stable pattern of annual support. Most of the recipients are in Omaha or elsewhere in Nebraska, with a smaller number of grants reaching organizations outside the state and abroad.
Education is the clearest anchor in the foundation’s grant history. Phoenix Academy received $210,000 in 2023 and again in 2024, making it the largest recurring recipient in the recent record. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation also supported Creighton University Rowing Team with $40,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in 2024, showing an additional education-linked commitment in Omaha. Arts and culture are another visible theme. Opera Omaha Inc received $30,000 in both 2023 and 2024, while Omaha Symphony Association was awarded $25,000 in each of those years. The Omaha Community Playhouse Foundation also appears twice at $10,000. In the nonprofit and community services space, the foundation gave $10,000 to JDRF International in both 2023 and 2024 and $10,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter in each of those years.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $7,000, and the p75 is $10,000. The recent record also shows repeated support rather than isolated gifts. Several recipients appear in consecutive years, including Phoenix Academy, Opera Omaha Inc, Omaha Symphony Association, Net Foundation for Television, JDRF International, the Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter, Omaha Community Playhouse Foundation, and Omaha Zoological Society. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, so its activity appears to be limited to charitable grants.
