    About Robert B Daugherty Foundation

    The Robert B. Daugherty Foundation concentrates on large, place-based capital investments in Nebraska — especially Omaha — supporting higher education, downtown civic infrastructure, and community-serving institutions. Grants are dominated by campus and public-space capital projects, with occasional support for mental health innovation and cultural organizations. The foundation favors a small number of sizeable, often repeat, awards to anchor transformational facilities and community assets.

    Focus Areas

    Capital construction and campus expansion at Nebraska higher-education institutionsDowntown Omaha riverfront and civic infrastructure developmentMental health innovation facilities and related infrastructureCommunity information and civic trust capital projects (public benefit infrastructure)Local performing arts and cultural organization capital support

    Giving Approach

    Highly concentrated giving: a very small number of large, multi-million-dollar grants (many capital-focused) with repeat support to a handful of anchor local institutions; primarily single-purpose capital gifts rather than many small operating grants.

    About Robert B Daugherty Foundation

    The Robert B Daugherty Foundation’s recent grantmaking is anchored by major capital commitments to Nebraska institutions, led by a $20,000,000 grant to the Downtown Riverfront Trust in Omaha for capital work. That pattern carries through its portfolio: the foundation backs facilities, public-space infrastructure, and campus projects that shape the built environment in Omaha and across the state. It also supports select operating and program awards when a project fits a larger place-based goal. A second defining thread is higher education. The University of Nebraska Foundation received multiple awards across 2023 to 2025, including both program support and capital project support, showing an ongoing relationship rather than a single transaction. The foundation’s giving is also visible in community-serving institutions tied to health, justice, culture, and civic information, with awards to organizations such as Mental Health Innovation Foundation and Community Information Trust. Across the recent grants list, the emphasis is on substantial, often project-specific grants that support long-lived assets in Nebraska.

    What Robert B Daugherty Foundation Funds

    Capital construction is a central theme. The University of Nebraska Foundation received $4,810,000 in 2025 for program support and $3,250,000 in 2025 for capital project support, alongside earlier awards in 2024 and 2023. The foundation also funds downtown and civic infrastructure. It gave $10,000,000 in 2024 to Downtown Riverfront Trust for capital project support, reflecting a continued focus on Omaha public-space development. Mental health and community systems appear in the portfolio as well. Mental Health Innovation Foundation received $3,000,000 in 2025 for capital project support, while Community Information Trust received the same amount in 2025 for capital project support. Arts and cultural assets are another part of the mix. Joslyn Art Museum received $1,800,000 in 2025 for capital project support, and Omaha Zoo Foundation received $1,000,000 in 2025 for capital project support.

    How Robert B Daugherty Foundation Gives

    Typical awards are large: the grant-size distribution sits at $50,000 at the 25th percentile, a $75,000 median, and $200,000 at the 75th percentile, while the recent grant list shows many seven-figure commitments. The foundation’s pattern is repeat-oriented in practice, with several recipients appearing across multiple years, including the University of Nebraska Foundation, Metropolitan Community College Foundation, and Omaha Shelter For Homeless Trust. It is a foundation grantmaker rather than a donor-advised fund, and it accepts unsolicited proposals through its general grant programs. Those programs allow one-time, multi-year, program, capital, and challenge/matching grants, with preference given to proposals with matching funds.
