Foundation - OAEF & OAPF

The Omaha Archdiocesan Educational Foundation (OAEF) was established in 1975 to provide long-range supplementary funding for the continuation and development of Catholic education within the Archdiocese. In 1995, Archbishop Elden Francis Curtiss expanded the investment options for Parish Endowments by initiating the Archdiocesan Parish Foundation (OAPF). This fund was established at the request of pastors who wished to have the advantage of professional investment management. The total market value of the OAEF and OAPF assets, on June 30, 2008, was approximately $19.2 million.

Since its inception in 1975, endowments and tuition assistance grants have been made accessible to Catholics throughout the Archdiocese due to the generosity of families and individuals.
