The Rebuild the Heartland Community Fund and Nebraska Flood Recovery Fund, both affiliated funds of Nebraska Community Foundation, have created a joint pre-application form for communities seeking funding for flood relief and recovery efforts.
Grants will be awarded to 501(c)(3) organizations and local government authorities located in or serving a flood-impacted community that has received a federal disaster designation. Communities in Nebraska, western Iowa, and southeastern South Dakota are eligible to apply.
Funding may support projects that set out to do the following:
- Community redevelopment and rebuilding more resilient communities
- Housing construction, rehabilitation, and related infrastructure
- Support for small business and agriculture
- Addressing and improving health and human services needs, including mental health
The pre-application is attached. It can also be downloaded from the following address:
