Grants Support Affordable Housing, Workforce Development and Financial Literacy Programs

FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) has awarded a total of $1,758,000 in Impact Grants to 88 organizations in Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Texas, announced Christina Kahler, Managing Director of Marketing and Philanthropy. The grants support programs dedicated to FNBO’s pillars of giving in the areas of affordable housing, workforce development and financial literacy.

“Our commitment to the community goes beyond banking—it’s about being a partner in building stronger, more resilient people and neighborhoods,” Kahler said. “These grants reflect our belief in supporting programs to empower people to take control of their financial futures.”

Building on last year’s record commitment to these communities, this year’s total is the new largest one-time distribution of Impact Grants.
