Omaha sits on a part of Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, and Abraham Lincoln decided Omaha was the perfect spot to start the transcontinental railroad. A noteworthy bunch who saw the potential of this river city. A fun way to get a taste of Omaha’s history is by going on one of The Durham Museums’ River City History Tours. Hop on a trolley and learn about Omaha’s Millionaires and Mansions, Expositions and Jazz Musicians, the Magic City, Trip Tip and the Gritty City, a light-hearted look back on the city’s seamier side. 10 VisitOmaha.com 2013 Omaha Visitors Guide Welcome • About Omaha Take Your Pic There are a lot of fun photo ops throughout the city—Omaha is Instagram heaven! On the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge you can stand in two states at the same time—one foot in Nebraska and one foot in Iowa. Unique public art throughout Downtown Omaha is just begging you to feed it. This is one of 13 unique park benches in the Gene Leahy Pedestrian Mall. Stand next to a real ‘Fork in the Road’ @ 1115 S 7th St in Omaha’s Little Italy neighborhood. If you’re wondering what the heck grain silos look like, these are some of the coolest around. The best way to see these giant works of art is to drive east on I-80 toward Downtown Omaha. Touching Chef Boyardee’s Toque (chef hat) is said to bring good luck in the kitchen. This 6’ tall statue sits in front of ConAgra Foods’ World headquarters at 10th and Farnam. Get into the act with the ornate and beautiful bronze street performers who juggle, mime and stilt-walk in front of CenturyLink Center Omaha. See how big you are compared to one of the largest public murals in the country. Fertile Ground can be seen from almost anywhere in the North Downtown area. Take part in a stampede through the city with a larger-than-life wagon train that startles a herd of buffalo and scares a flock of geese that fly into the high-rise First National Bank Tower. You’ll find it at 15th and Capitol Avenue and can follow it as it travels 7 city blocks.

    2014 GIVING REPORT It’S No Surprise to Us, Our Donors and the Giving Community Are Among the Most Generous in the Nation - and They Made 2014 an Incrdible Year!

    2014 GIVING REPORT It’s no surprise to us, our donors and the giving community are among the most generous in the nation - and they made 2014 an incrdible year! The donors working through the Omaha Community Foundation had a record year. They gave over $173 million to nonprofits which ranked 5th in the nation for most generous among community foundation donors. That level of giving surpassed community foundations in Chicago, New York, and Boston according to the annual report published by CF Insights. Another important milestone for the Foundation was achieved this year. We surpassed $1 billion in assets which make us the 17th largest community foundation nationally. In addition, this was a record year for people joining our family of donors – 159 accounts were opened in 2014. These milestones and record level of growth are important today, but it also means that there will continue to be community investment in our nonprofits long into the future. Our donors love this community and continue to find more ways to make it the best it can be. We exist to help them accomplish those hopes and dreams. Our community’s future is bright. The Omaha Community Foundation connects people who care about our community with the people and nonprofits who are doing the most good here. Over $1.2 billion has been granted to nonprofits on behalf of our donors. And since 1982, our family of over 1,300 donors has given over $1.6 billion to charitable giving accounts at the Omaha Community Foundation. Much has been accomplished, but we are ready to do more.
