    The Immanuel Vision Foundation (IVF) proudly announces the distribution of more than $1.5 million in grants to 33 nonprofit organizations across Nebraska and Iowa. These grants, ranging from $12,000 to $75,000 – with one $300,000 catalytic grant – are earmarked to support initiatives enhancing senior programs and community services.

    According to Emily Tonniges, Executive Director of the Immanuel Foundations, this round of grant distribution represents a significant milestone for IVF’s ongoing commitment to regional communities. Emily emphasized the foundation’s pride in partnering with organizations dedicated to caring for individuals, especially seniors.

    Among the grant recipients is the Intercultural Senior Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The center was awarded the inaugural catalytic grant for its Senior Self-Care Services Program, which addresses critical needs often overlooked by aging populations.

    The grants span various domains, with organizations in Omaha, Bellevue, Fremont, Grant, Winnebago, Lincoln, Council Bluffs, and Des Moines benefitting.
