The Weitz Family Foundation is fairly straightforward in what they will fund. If you happen to know one of the officers, you could call and ask if your project fits into their scope. They genuinely want to help nonprofits in Omaha be the best that they can be, and help their intended clients.

Carefully review the foundation's priorities. The staff is very easy to work with. Arrange a tour. The founders have an interest in social determinants due to a social work background. They are very culturally aware, not racist, not homophobic.
