About Us

The Audubon County Endowment Fund was formed in 1997 as an affiliate of the Omaha Community Foundation. The founding members of the organization had a vision to ensure that our county’s charitable programs were supported now and in the future. We work together with many individuals, families, business, and organizations to establish endowment funds that will provide grant awards for years to come.

The Audubon County Endowment Fund is governed by a local advisory board that is active in our local communities. Members of our advisory board are: Thomas R. Nielsen, Janell J. Hansen, Bruce Hoegh, Brett Irlmeier, Larry Beckendorf, Daryl Olsen, DVM, and David Robinson.
