    About Nebraska Medical Center

    A defining feature of The Nebraska Medical Center’s grantmaking is the repeated support for UNMC Physicians and the University of Nebraska Board of Regents at very large scale, with those organizations appearing in both 2023 and 2024 general-support awards. That pattern points to a funder closely tied to education, research, and patient care rather than a short-term project sponsor. The foundation’s stated mission is to transform lives and create a healthier future through education, research and extraordinary patient care, and its recent grants show that mission expressed through broad institutional support, not narrow program grants. Its largest recent awards went to Omaha- and Lincoln-based health and education organizations, including major support for Clarkson College and Clarkson Regional Health Services Inc. The portfolio also reaches into public-health and community-serving groups such as the American Cancer Society, the Immigrant Legal Center, and United Way of the Midlands. Most grants are described as general support, and the recurring presence of the same recipients suggests long-running institutional relationships. Together, the recent awards show a funder investing in the infrastructure around medical education, health services, and community health in Nebraska.

    What Nebraska Medical Center Funds

    Education and training are central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $14,187,030 to Clarkson College in 2023 for general support and another $6,018,325 in 2024, showing sustained backing for a health-professions school. In higher education and research, the foundation also supported the University of Nebraska Board of Regents with $109,251,521 in 2024 and $94,594,039 in 2023. Health-focused community support appears across several grants. The foundation awarded $202,500 to the American Cancer Society in 2024 and $35,000 to March of Dimes in the same year, aligning with its listed focus areas in cancer and prenatal health and infant mortality. It also supported the American Heart Association with $23,880 in 2024 and $23,700 in 2023, alongside grants to Hope Medical Outreach Coalition, No More Empty Pots, and Harbor House, which point to patient support and services for underserved communities.

    How Nebraska Medical Center Gives

    Recent grants cluster around a wide size range, with the 25th percentile at $9,284, the median at $16,525, and the 75th percentile at $61,250. The distribution includes a few very large institutional awards and many smaller general-support grants. The Nebraska Medical Center is a regular funder, and the recent record shows repeated support for the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, especially major education and health institutions. Its philosophy tags emphasize general operating support, unrestricted support, and core/non-program-specific funding. No application process is described in the data.
