Abel Foundation Website

Since the beginning, the values of the Abel family have always included returning a measure of their success to the community through donations to educational and community organizations. The first substantial gift from the Abel family was made in memory of George P. Abel, Sr. in 1944 to the newly formed University of Nebraska Foundation.

As the success of the family business increased, more contributions were made to various organizations. George P. Abel Jr. incorporated the Abel Foundation in 1946 as a centralized means of coordinating the family’s gifts.

The following, along with many others, are all organizations that have received contributions from the Abel Foundation:
