For over a century, Aksarben has been synonymous with philanthropy, community building and giving back. The Aksarben Foundation works to connect important initiatives with business leaders to build a more prosperous heartland for everyone.
Established in 1895, the Aksarben Foundation represents the premier leaders in Nebraska and western Iowa. The Foundation works as a unified network of leaders to influence change for the betterment of our state by funding scholarships for deserving youth, supporting heartland communities through grant funding, recognizing and celebrating volunteerism, philanthropy and community at the annual Aksarben Ball and honoring its agricultural heritage through Pioneer and Heritage Farm Family awards.
Going forward, the Foundation remains committed to these important core initiatives but will expand its leadership network to address one of the most critical issues facing our state – workforce development.
