The OPAS Foundation is singularly focused on sustaining the performing arts ecosystem in Omaha, with all documented grant dollars directed to the Omaha Performing Arts Society. Its support appears aimed at underwriting a major arts institution—likely for venue operations, programming, and organizational capacity—positioning the foundation as a principal backer of local cultural infrastructure.
Highly concentrated giving: very large gifts exclusively to a single grantee (three grants totaling all reported dollars), indicating a strategy of being the primary institutional funder rather than distributing smaller grants across many organizations.
