Womens Fund of Greater Omaha Inc

The Ready to Run™ workshop for women interested in running for office or managing a campaign has been presented by the Women’s Fund of Omaha since 2005. In 2014, the workshop was redesigned with a six-session format that provides time for more in-depth coverage of topics such as deciding to run for office, fundraising, communications and more.

Talk of the Town is a networking group for nonprofit agencies with programs serving women and girls. Quarterly events focus on a topic of interest to these agencies and include networking opportunities. Goal of the program is to provide opportunities for program professionals to network with each other, build relationships, learn about programs other agencies offer and hopefully collaborate on projects.

Women’s Fund Circles introduces young women leaders to the Women’s Fund’s work. It offers opportunities for young women to network, interact with established professional women and learn about philanthropy. Members are selected through an annual application process.

Today’s Omaha Woman – launched in 1997 - is a quarterly magazine published by the Women’s Fund of Omaha in partnership with Pioneer Publishing (The Reader). The magazine’s target audience is upscale, educated Omaha women. Each issue focuses on a topic of interest to women in Omaha, with many of the themes reflecting issues identified by Women’s Fund findings. Recent topics have included how women are doing in Omaha, the media's representation of women, prostitution and sex trafficking in Omaha, challenges teen girls face, women in business, caring for aging parents and why Omaha is a great city to live in.

The Women’s Fund of Omaha annually awards grants to local nonprofit agencies for programs that are making a positive impact on the lives of Omaha-area women and girls.

Community Impact Grants target programs in the areas of economic self-sufficiency, domestic violence, sexual literacy and leadership development for girls. An Excellence in Service to Women Grant recognizes a program for its good work. New in 2014 is an Emerging Issues Grant that focuses on issues outside of the Women's Fund priority areas.
