Peter Kiewit Foundation
The Peter Kiewit Foundation was established as the personal foundation of Peter Kiewit, founder of the Omaha-based national and international construction and engineering company that bears his name. In 1980, the Peter Kiewit Foundation was created entirely from his personal wealth. He did not believe in inherited wealth, and made plans for his personal estate to become a private charitable foundation upon his death. The foundation is not related legally or administratively to the operating companies that still bear Kiewit's name. Kiewit was a philanthropist and community leader for a wide array of projects in Omaha during his lifetime. The Foundation has a long tradition of investing in projects that will benefit all Nebraskans and advance the state's economy.
