Key takeaways
- Acklie Charitable Foundation, based in Lincoln, NE, paid $13,353,958 in the year its filing covers and names education and health and human services as its two main goals.
- If your work fits one of those areas, it is worth a look, and the foundation's stated interest in basic supports such as nutritious meals, safe housing and healthcare may help you frame a request.
- The filing does not state a grant range, so there is no typical figure to size a request against; keep any ask modest and explain clearly how it serves one of the two goals.
- The sources reviewed do not set out a public application route or say which kinds of organisation are eligible, so contact the foundation directly before writing a formal proposal.
- Its geographic focus is not stated, so do not assume your location rules you out.
