About New Cassel Foundation
New Cassel Foundation’s recent grantmaking is centered on supporting New Cassel Inc. operations, with two large grants on file: $884,553 in 2024 and $723,046 in 2023. That pattern points to an organization that funds ongoing service delivery rather than a broad, dispersed grant portfolio. The foundation describes its work as part of a healing ministry and a caring community committed to supporting residents’ health, dignity, and spiritual life. Its stated focus areas include elder services, assisted living, adult day care, resident financial assistance, and facility improvements. The active Helping Hands Fund adds another layer to that approach by offsetting the financial needs of New Cassel residents and Franciscan Adult Day Center participants who live under the poverty level. The foundation’s grantmaking is local and entirely within Nebraska, with recipients in the state accounting for all grants in the file. Leadership is listed under Tracy Lichti.
What New Cassel Foundation Funds
One core area is resident-centered support. Through the Helping Hands Fund, New Cassel Foundation supports New Cassel residents and Franciscan Adult Day Center participants who live under the poverty level, tying grantmaking directly to financial hardship among people already connected to its services. A second focus is operations support for its affiliated organization. The foundation awarded $884,553 in 2024 and $723,046 in 2023 to New Cassel Inc, both designated to support operations. That shows a clear commitment to sustaining day-to-day service delivery. The stated program areas also include elder services, assisted living, adult day care, and facility improvements. Those categories indicate that the foundation funds both care services and the physical environments where those services are delivered.
How New Cassel Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is high and tightly clustered: p25 is $763,423, the median is $803,800, and p75 is $844,176. The two recent grants on file are both large operating awards, suggesting a pattern of recurring support rather than many small one-time grants. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker rather than an individual-funding or PRI vehicle, and the active Helping Hands Fund accepts unsolicited requests.
