Community Grants

The Ak-Sar-Ben Friends award a minimum of $5,000 each year in Community Grant money. The matching-fund grants are to be used for support by any non-profit organization which strives to improve their community in Nebraska and western Iowa.

Grants are awarded based on demonstration of emerging community need, the goals and objectives addressed in the community's need, the capacity to implement the propsed project, and the propsed restuls of the project.

Grant applications must be sponsored and approved by an Ak-Sar-Ben Friends Ambassador. Click here to find a list of Ambassadors .
