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.
The recipients include a pair of Fremont organizations.
LifeHouse in Fremont received $15,000. It supports the workforce development and life skill training program, which provides practical skills needed to gain employment and focuses on the soft skills needed to stay employed.
Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity received $20,000. It supports the home construction program, which partners with low-income families to construct quality and affordable homes, leading to financial stability.
Christina Kahler, Managing Director of Marketing and Philanthropy, announced the grants. 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.
