About Scottish Rite Foundation of Nebraska
A defining feature of Scottish Rite Foundation of Nebraska Inc is its sustained support for language disorder services, with the largest recent grants going to the University of Nebraska Foundation in Omaha for a language disorder program: $892,230 in 2023, $754,492 in 2024, and $755,655 in 2025. That repeated pattern points to a funder that backs the same service area year after year rather than spreading small awards across many unrelated causes. The foundation also connects speech-language work to higher education. Its active grant programs include scholarships and endowed academic support at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, along with an endowed professorship in speech-language therapy. Another program supports Nebraska RiteCare speech and language clinics and services, including subsidized therapy for children regardless of ability to pay and clinic operations. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving is organized around service delivery and academic capacity in Nebraska. The presence of both clinical support and university-based funding shows a dual approach: helping children access therapy now while also supporting the professional pipeline tied to speech-language work over time.
