Apply for a 2024 Grant

We want to see your community thrive just as much as you do. And we’re doing everything we can to help.

Aksarben community grants have been a staple of the Aksarben mission since some of our earliest days. We have granted funds all across Nebraska and look forward to receiving new applications each year speaking of new projects taking shape, and how we can help you impact your communities through this work.

Our application deadline has closed for 2023, but we’re still anxious to hear from you! Please let us know what projects are taking shape in your area so we can help shine a spotlight!

Community Grants

Aksarben Community Grants are selected and intended for projects budgeted up to $10,000 in total. The maximum grant awarded $1,000 and all grant awards are contingent upon a matching gift component. While you may submit your application at any point throughout the year, the deadline each year is March 15 and grant recipients are notified by April 1 of the same year in which the awards are sent out. For additional information on the application process, please contact: info@aksarben.org
