About Us

The goal of the Harrison County Endowment Fund is to improve the quality of life in Harrison County by supporting needs that are not being met in the areas of civic, cultural, health, education and social service.

The Harrison 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.
