The Foundation

Areas of Interest

Areas of interest of the Peter Kiewit Foundation for grantmaking purposes are broad and include the arts, education, children and families, community development, health, and human services. The Peter Kiewit Foundation funds programs, facilities, and capital projects. The Foundation is interested in receiving applications for specific, defined projects or programs, but generally excludes funding requests for support of debt retirement, operational deficits, hospitals or health care facilities.

The Foundation does not make grants or loans to individuals, for-profit businesses, other private foundations, general fund drives or annual appeals, event sponsorships, routine public works projects, or any activity which could influence elections or legislation. Other categories Mr. Kiewit excluded from funding eligibility are individual elementary and secondary schools and school districts, churches and endowment.

The arts, education, children and families, community development,
health, and human services

Competition for Peter Kiewit Foundation grant funds is keen and it is not possible to fund all the requests of merit that it receives.   Applicants should understand that a decision by the Trustees to decline funding does not mean that they disapprove of the proposed project or that they do not recognize its potential or value.  It is the policy of the Peter Kiewit Foundation that is does not provide applicants, successful or otherwise, the reasons why a grant was approved or declined. Diamond
