Midwest Housing Equity Group

About Midwest Housing Equity Group

Midwest Housing Equity Group Inc. consistently combines affordable-housing mission work with broad community support, while also recognizing leadership through its Pillar of Housing Award. Across the recent grants list, the foundation gives flexible support to organizations in Nebraska and beyond, and several recipients appear in multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Its largest recent grant was $29,600 to Omaha Performing Arts in 2025, followed by $20,000 grants to Omaha Community Foundation and Hayes Cares, both in Omaha. The pattern includes support for local institutions, education-related groups, health and human services organizations, and civic nonprofits, all framed as donations used to further each organization’s mission. The foundation also makes program-related investments, which aligns with a housing-focused funder that works through more than standard grantmaking. With annual grants of $353,324 and total assets above $76 million, Midwest Housing Equity Group Inc. operates at a meaningful regional scale while keeping much of its giving close to Nebraska. The mix of repeat recipients and varied community partners points to a funder that uses grants to reinforce its housing-oriented ecosystem as well as adjacent community infrastructure.
