DescriptionThe Foundation is committed to improving child and family welfare through community investments in the following areas: public education, human services, and social justice.

Occasionally the Foundation makes grants outside of the Greater Omaha region to organizations that have a working relationship with it. The Foundation also supports early childhood education on a regional and national basis through the Buffett Early Childhood Fund.

Applicants are asked to submit a two-page letter of inquiry. Postmark deadlines for the letter are February 15 and August 15. Additional information including the contacts for each program can be found on the Web site.
