Community Investment Trust

Canopy South is transforming a vacant mortuary on South 24th Street into a workforce development hub offering career coaching, resume help, adult education, and entrepreneurial support—all accessible in multiple languages. Unique to this project, residents of the surrounding 68107 ZIP code can invest in the commercial property for as little as $10 a month after completing financial literacy training, earning annual dividends from tenant rents. The initiative, aligned with Canopy South’s Economic Vitality pillar, aims to build community wealth, connect residents to upwardly mobile careers, and serve as a first-of-its-kind model for inclusive economic development in Omaha.

North and South Omaha Recovery Grant

In 2023, the Nebraska Legislature established the North and South Omaha Recovery Grant program (NSORG), allocating over $234 million to support economic recovery in communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. In response, a coalition of nonprofit and for-profit organizations in South Omaha united to launch a wide range of transformational projects across sectors like healthcare, education, housing, and economic development. Canopy South was selected to lead two major initiatives—Q Street Collaborative ($39M) and Adelante II – 24th Street Collaborative ($25M)—both of which must be completed by December 31, 2027.
