About Burlington Capital Foundation
Burlington Capital Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by repeated operating support for place-based projects in Nebraska, especially a $100,000 award to Yanney Heritage Park in 2025 and another $100,000 grant to the Nebraska Multi Sports Complex in 2023. Those grants point to a funder that backs community infrastructure, recreation, and civic space, while also supporting youth services and local institutions that serve Omaha-area residents. The foundation’s recurring awards are generally unrestricted operating support, which suggests an interest in strengthening organizations already delivering services or maintaining public assets. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears in support of parks, sports facilities, workforce and education efforts, and community-serving nonprofits. Examples include Partnership 4 Kids, which received $51,349 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023 for operations, and the Omaha Douglas Public Building Commission, which received $50,000 in 2023 for operations. The pattern is place-based rather than national: every listed recipient is in Nebraska, with grants reaching both Omaha and other Nebraska communities such as Kearney, Lincoln, Bellevue, and Denton.
What Burlington Capital Foundation Funds
Community infrastructure is a central theme. Burlington Capital Foundation gave $100,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 to Yanney Heritage Park for operations, indicating sustained support for a public park project in Kearney. Recreation and sports also figure prominently: the Nebraska Multi Sports Complex received $100,000 in 2023 for operations, and the foundation later supported Lake Cunningham Development Trust with $10,000 in 2025. Youth and education-oriented work is another clear thread. Partnership 4 Kids received $51,349 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023 for operations, while Project Harmony received $10,000 in 2023. The foundation also funded Education Rights Counsel with $7,500 in 2025. Arts and civic programming appear as well through Kaneko at $20,000 in 2023 and Lincoln Crossroads Festival at $10,125 in 2025.
How Burlington Capital Foundation Gives
The foundation’s grant sizes cluster around moderate operating awards, with a typical range of $5,000 at the 25th percentile, a $10,000 median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile. Larger grants do appear, including several six-figure awards, but most listed gifts sit closer to the median. The pattern is mostly recurring: Yanney Heritage Park, Partnership 4 Kids, Consortium of Dementia Alternatives, Omaha Equestrian Foundation, Restoring Dignity, and Heart Ministry Center each appear in more than one year. Burlington Capital Foundation is a grantmaking foundation, not a DAF, and it does accept unsolicited applications through its Burlington Capital Foundation Grants program.
