Our trustees have given this thoughtful and strategic consideration and believe this was indeed Mr. Kiewit’s intent. Sunsetting in 2030 will coincide with our 50th anniversary and a milestone of $1 billion worth of investments into the communities of Nebraska and Western Iowa. We feel Mr. Kiewit would be pleased with the work we’ve done, the communities we’ve supported, and the projects we’ve helped build.

Peter Kiewit Foundation will award and pay out all our remaining funds by 2030 and cease operations.

Our commitment to our mission and grantee partners remains unwavering during this time. We feel Mr. Kiewit would remind us that the work is not done, and more importantly, that it was never ours alone to finish. The real work has always been, and will continue to be, in the hands of the communities and organizations we’ve supported over the years and the next generation of philanthropic leaders.

Our team members have begun helping our long-time grantee partners plan for this transition and ensure they are poised for success long after our sunset.

Current commitments will be honored.

Peter Kiewit Foundation is no longer accepting grant inquiries.

We are providing this information well in advance to allow our partners ample time to plan and adapt. We aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, and our work continues until then. We don’t have all the answers or details sorted out yet but are in the planning stages. We are dedicated to sunset in a way that is reflective of Mr. Kiewit and who we are and position our grantees for long-term success. We will be in close contact with our grantee partners to collaborate and share details as we have them.
