The Further Foundation concentrates on community-based social services with particular emphasis on children, families and refugees. They provide general/unrestricted operating support to youth-serving organizations, health charities focused on cystic fibrosis, and settlement/support services for immigrants and refugee women. Grants skew toward mid-sized awards and include repeat support for several hometown institutions, suggesting preference for sustaining core operations rather than project-by-project funding. While based in Wilmington, DE, a notable share of giving targets Nebraska (Lincoln/Lancaster County) and refugee-focused groups with broader geographic reach.
Relatively concentrated portfolio of mid‑to‑large general operating grants (14 grants totaling ~$434k) with repeat funding to select grantees; favors sustaining core operations over restricted/project grants and balances local community investments (Nebraska youth and family services) with refugee and health causes that have wider geographic impact.
A defining pattern at The Further Foundation is repeated general operating support for Nebraska-based organizations serving children, families, refugees, and people affected by cystic fibrosis. The largest recent grants go to Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and St Monicas Home, each receiving $50,000 in 2024 for general and unrestricted support. That same unrestricted approach shows up across youth development, immigrant integration, family services, and health charities, with awards often renewed over multiple years rather than tied to one-off projects. The foundation’s recent grant history also shows steady support for organizations in Lincoln and Omaha. Boys & Girls Clubs of Lincolnlancaster County appears in multiple years, as do Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Nebraska Chapter and International Council for Refugees and Immigrants. Refugee Women Rising, Childrens Respite Care Center Inc, and Somali Community Service Inc also appear among recent recipients, pointing to a grantmaker that funds core operations across a mix of community service groups. The pattern is less about narrow project funding than about sustaining organizations already working in the field.
In family and child welfare, The Further Foundation gave $50,000 to Nebraska Children and Families Foundation for general and unrestricted support, and $15,000 to Childrens Respite Care Center Inc for the same purpose. In youth development, Boys & Girls Clubs of Lincolnlancaster County received $23,800 in 2025 after prior grants of $23,400 in 2023 and $23,000 in 2024, showing continued backing over time. The foundation also supports refugee and immigrant services. International Council for Refugees and Immigrants received $39,000 in 2023 and another $23,800 in 2025, while Refugee Women Rising received $28,500 in 2023. Health-related giving includes $39,000 to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Nebraska Chapter in 2023 and $23,800 to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 2025. Smaller grants extend to Somali Community Service Inc and The Nebraska Abortion and Reproductive Justice Fun, both funded in 2023 for general and unrestricted support.
Typical grant size centers in the mid-range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $23,000, and the 75th percentile is $23,800. Recent awards cluster tightly around those figures, with several grants at $23,800 and $23,000 and a smaller group at $10,000 and $5,000. The foundation also makes larger $39,000 and $50,000 grants. Its grantmaking shows repetition across years rather than isolated support. Multiple recipients reappear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Boys & Girls Clubs of Lincolnlancaster County, International Council for Refugees and Immigrants, Childrens Respite Care Center Inc, and the cystic fibrosis organizations. All recent awards are listed as general and unrestricted, indicating flexible, core support.
