About Todd and Mary Heistand Family Foundation
The Todd and Mary Heistand Family Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on a single organization, SINC, through repeated large grants. This suggests the foundation prefers deep, relationship-driven philanthropy focused on a particular local or mission-driven nonprofit rather than broad, diversified grantmaking. Their support appears to be significant and likely unrestricted or for core programming, signaling trust in the grantee's work and leadership.

Giving Approach

About Todd and Mary Heistand Family Foundation
A single organization dominates the Todd and Mary Heistand Family Foundation’s recent giving: Sinc received $600,000 in 2024 and another $300,000 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that makes concentrated, relationship-based grants rather than spreading support broadly across many recipients. The foundation’s recent awards also show repeated commitments to community-serving organizations in Omaha and Council Bluffs, including Thriving Families Alliance, Foodbank for the Heartland, and Micah House. Its portfolio includes operating support, capital project funding, and program grants, often to organizations serving children, families, and neighborhood-based communities. Several awards are tied to youth and family services, while others support community well-being, intergenerational programming, and workforce pathways. The presence of both large recurring grants and smaller targeted awards suggests a mix of core support and project-specific funding. Grants such as $145,000 to Thriving Families Alliance and $75,000 to Heartland Family Services indicate the foundation works through established local partners with ongoing needs. The overall pattern is compact, intentional, and centered on a small set of mission-aligned organizations.

Workforce-related priorities appear as well, including grants aligned with building construction trades in the broader grant program description.
