One Omaha empowers people where they live with education, training, and engagement to develop thriving neighborhoods.
Who We Serve
Residents have tremendous potential to take collective action to create solutions for common problems. Our work focuses on neighborhood and community-led groups to address the lack of capacity and help them gain greater control of their own future development.
What Sets Us Apart
One Omaha is the only nonprofit serving all neighborhoods throughout the city of Omaha, in addition to community-led groups. Using an asset-based community development model for our place-based initiatives, we focus on the strengths and assets of a neighborhood/group rather than its deficits and problems. By offering tangible resources to keep residents informed and connected to their community, we equip them to influence decisions that impact their lives.
- In 2023, we worked with 60 neighborhood groups regarding fiscal sponsorship, capacity building, grant opportunities, and general support.
- By serving as a fiscal agent, One Omaha helped neighborhood groups receive $63,450 in grant funds in 2023.
- Between 2020 and 2023, One Omaha directly distributed $19,000 in mini-grant funds to 26 groups.
