At the Mutual of Omaha Foundation, we envision a community where all people are able to provide for their basic human needs. A community where everyone is equipped with the tools they need for a successful education. And a community where every family feels safe and empowered to pursue a better way of life.
To realize that vision, we have identified several critical issues that negatively impact families in their quest for positive change – issues like substance abuse, illiteracy and homelessness. Not only do these issues produce obstacles for families to overcome – they often have a compounding effect, creating multiple challenges. In order to address these critical issues, we have grouped them into three categories:
|
|
|
|
|
Behavioral Health |
|
Early Childhood |
|
Food |
Youth Violence |
|
Preparedness for Graduation |
|
Shelter |
Domestic Abuse |
|
Literacy/Language |
|
|
Childhood Obesity |
|
Financial Literacy |
|
|
Our priority is to support programs and organizations in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area that have a direct impact on families facing these critical issues. Our hope is that through this support, families will be connected to the resources they need to achieve and maintain a higher quality of life.
