The Johnson-Wissing Family Foundation appears to focus its philanthropy narrowly on community mental health and crisis intervention, directing its entire reported giving in this period to a single local provider. Their sole grant to Revive Inc suggests an interest in supporting behavioral health, recovery, or crisis services in the Hastings, Nebraska area. This giving pattern indicates targeted, place-based support rather than broad or diversified grantmaking.
Highly concentrated: a single, relatively large grant to one local nonprofit rather than multiple small awards; appears to be targeted, place-based support to a core beneficiary.
Notable grantees: Revive Inc
Johnson-wissing Family Foundation Inc has made one very large recent grant that helps define its giving: $69,750 to Revive Inc in Hastings in 2025 for program support. That award sits alongside a cluster of smaller local grants that point to a narrow, place-based pattern of support in south-central Nebraska. The foundation’s reported giving is local, and 98% of its grants go to recipients in Nebraska. The recent record shows sustained support for program delivery rather than broad, unrestricted philanthropy. Hastings-based organizations appear frequently, including Our Little Angels, Adams Central Schools Foundation, Hastings Public School Foundation, Hastings College Foundation, and Platte Valley Youth for Christ. The foundation also backed community-serving intermediaries and institutions such as Hastings Community Foundation and Mary Lanning Foundation. Its grantmaking reaches across behavioral health, youth support, education, family services, and community programs, but within a tightly bounded geography. The pattern suggests a family foundation directing modest-to-mid-sized program support to local organizations that serve residents in Hastings and nearby communities.
Community mental health and crisis intervention are central to the foundation’s giving profile. In 2025, it awarded $69,750 to Revive Inc in Hastings for program support, and Revive Inc also received $3,000 in 2024, showing repeated backing for the same local service provider. Youth and family services are another visible thread. The foundation gave $8,000 in 2023 and $2,500 in 2024 and 2025 to Our Little Angels in Hastings, plus $2,000 in 2023 to Special Children’s Fund, all as program support. Education-related grants also appear regularly. Adams Central Schools Foundation received $6,500 in 2025, $4,000 in 2024, and $4,000 in 2023, while Hastings Public School Foundation received $5,000 in 2024 and $3,250 in 2025. The foundation also supported Hastings College Foundation in 2023 and 2025.
Typical grants are small: the reported distribution is $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $2,000 at the median, and $3,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also shows a much larger outlier at $69,750, indicating a mix of routine program support and a flagship award. Grants are made repeatedly to the same recipients across multiple years, including Adams Central Schools Foundation, Hastings Public School Foundation, and Our Little Angels. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and the listed grants are all program support.
