Oregon Trail Community Foundation Grant Program
This grant provides financial support to tax-exempt organizations and public entities in the Nebraska Panhandle and Eastern Wyoming for community projects, scholarships, and initiatives that address local needs.
The Oregon Trail Community Foundation (OTCF) has distributed over $7 million in grants to support various projects within the Nebraska Panhandle and Eastern Wyoming. These grants, sourced from donor-advised funds, donations, and the Foundation itself, aim to address community needs, support individual scholarships, and focus on priority areas as defined by donors. OTCF grants cater to tax-exempt organizations, public entities like schools or governmental institutions, but not to individuals, for political campaigns, or lobbying efforts. The grants primarily support projects outside deficit financing, annual fund drives, capital campaigns, ongoing operating expenses, or direct support of religious activities. Grant renewed every year. Annual deadlines: February 1, June 1, and October 1.
