Peter Kiewit Foundation

The Peter Kiewit Foundation, established in 1979 with a $150 million endowment, is a private philanthropic trust dedicated to fostering engaged citizens and thriving communities, primarily in the Omaha metro area and across Nebraska. The foundation, independent from the Kiewit operating companies, focuses on creating opportunities that enhance economic success and promote a high quality of life for individuals and communities.

Inspired by the legacy of its founder, Peter Kiewit, the foundation emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency and community ownership in its grantmaking approach, utilizing a collaborative model where funding is sourced from applicants, their community supporters, and philanthropic contributions. This balanced support structure reflects Mr. Kiewit's belief in empowering organizations and communities to sustain their own initiatives for the future.
