United Airlines established a Fund within the Siouxland Community Foundation in appreciation of Siouxland’s response to the United Flight 232 incident in July of 1989. The fund aims to provide financial support for education and community projects in the Siouxland area.
The O'Brien County Community Foundation Grant program aims to address current and emerging needs within O'Brien County by awarding grants in several key areas: Arts & Culture, Civic, Education, Environment, Health, and Human Services. These areas encompass a wide range of initiatives, including but not limited to increasing access to cultural activities, community beautification, educational development across all age groups, natural resource conservation, health promotion and crisis intervention, and support for various disadvantaged groups. The grant process involves a thorough review of proposals by the OBCCF Advisory Board, which recommends grants based on community needs and the proposing organization's capacity to effectively enhance quality of life within O'Brien County.
