History
In 1990, a small group of visionary women leaders in Omaha recognized that women's issues and programs were not receiving sufficient funding. They established the Women's Fund within the Omaha Community Foundation through a grant from the Ford/MacArthur Foundation. The mission of these women was to create opportunities for the economic, physical, emotional, social, artistic and personal growth of women and girls. Their goal was to enable women to achieve full partnership in the Omaha community.
