Provide for the health, education and social welfare needs of the Adams County community, including the elderly, through the distribution of grants derived from entrusted funds.
Sunnyside’s giving is tightly centered on Adams County, with annual competitive grants distributed from entrusted funds and administered by the Sunnyside Board in affiliation with Mary Lanning Healthcare. The foundation’s recent grants show a clear pattern of support for direct services that meet health, education, and social welfare needs, especially for elderly residents and other people facing short-term hardship. In the health area, it has backed Mary Lanning Healthcare for hospital cardiac, diabetic, pediatric, and medication needs across multiple years, and it also funded nursing simulation equipment for Hastings College Foundation so students could practice on adult, child, and newborn simulators. Social welfare grants have gone to organizations serving shelter residents, people needing hygiene and laundry assistance, foster children, and individuals navigating public assistance and employment barriers. The foundation’s work also reaches schools and youth-serving groups, including a grant for children’s after-school programs and support for choir risers at Hastings Senior High School. Across the record on file, the pattern is local, practical, and oriented toward services delivered in Hastings and the surrounding county.
Health-related grants include support for both care delivery and training. Sunnyside gave $100,000 to Hastings College Foundation to purchase three simulators for its nursing program, and it supported Mary Lanning Healthcare with grants of $99,494 in 2023, $42,674 in 2024, and $93,073 in 2025 for cardiac, diabetic, pediatric, medication, and other hospital needs. In elderly services, the foundation provided $19,590 to United Way of South Central Nebraska in 2025 for emergency needs of the elderly. Social welfare support also appears in basic-needs and housing stability work: Crossroads received $18,786 for a homeless shelter bed replacement project, while Casa of South Central Nebraska received grants for hygiene supplies, beds, and bedding. The foundation also funded employment access case management through United Way of South Central Nebraska.
Sunnyside’s typical grant size is modest and clustered around the $10,000 level, with a p25 of $8,119, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $18,280. The recent record includes repeated support for several of the same organizations across multiple years, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off awards. Grants are drawn from entrusted funds, and the active programs are annual competitive grant programs administered in affiliation with Mary Lanning Healthcare. Unsolicited applications are accepted.
