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. On July 1, 2020, the OAEF/OAPF was renamed the Catholic Futures Foundation of Northeast Nebraska. The new name describes an organization that is guided by its Catholic values, is aspirational, outcome oriented and focused on the future.
