Peter Kiewit was known for his generosity and made it a priority to invest back into communities. One of Peter's first large public donations was to Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. The donation was for Anna Kiewit Residence Hall, a women’s dorm at the university named in honor of his late mother. Pictured is Peter's wife Evelyn, former Creighton President Rev. H.W. Linn Jr., SJ, and Peter at the Kiewit Hall groundbreaking in 1965. In 1968, because of Peter's many contributions and service to Creighton, the university made him an honorary doctor of laws. In 1978, he was named an Honorary Founder of the university, only the second time in the school’s 100-year history that the honor was given.

That explains it all. Givers always get more back than given. Often by our own labor. But blessed nonetheless.

    "Community colleges get less government money to spend, per student, than public four-year universities: $8,695, according to the Center for American Progress, compared with $17,540. Yet community college students need more support than their counterparts at four-year universities. 29% are the first in their families to go to college, 15% are single parents and 68% work while in school. 29% say they’ve had trouble affording food and 14% affording housing, according to a survey by the Center for Community College Student Engagement." The City University of New York and LaGuardia Community College students need your help. Donate today! https://lnkd.in/gZWnBwCR

    NOTHING IS " IMPOSSIBLE" TO ACCOMPLISH ! Simply because, I can learn by listening and recalling whatever I hear, see and/or read IRRESPECTIVE of person, place, subject, trade or circumstances that I pass by or with!

    Prodigy Finance! To finance with loans for interest to support the third world /commonwealth countries-students lighten their burden of huge study costs for higher study and thereby contribute in conversion of human into human resources combindly: perhaps it is the most profitable business network now in the world! So try to revise your old-obsolete-British minded policy to retain your shared businesses in the modern world of sustainable business mainly driven by holistic marketing strategy and approach to explore and pick it up not cunningly but with utmost trust and honesty otherwise you may lose yours to the honest and sincere competitors very soon!

    Excuse me, The PRSA Foundation… but $130,000 in relation to *what*? The Better Business Bureau’s “standard seeks to assure donors that the majority of a charity’s activities (defined as 65% of a charity’s total expenses in the past fiscal year) are directed to its program services.” Transparency is not the PRSA Foundation’s forte. Consequently, this GuideStar link to the Foundation’s IRS Form 990 filing (2021) from two years ago is the most recent one we have documenting the Foundation’s % of expenses actually dedicated to its stated “diversity” mission. In 2021, only 41% ($60,913) of total expenses ($146,700) were dedicated to grants / scholarships. In 2020, only 23% ($65,506) of total expenses ($277,233) were thus dedicated. “Other” expenses are largely used to prop up the PRSA, Inc., business league, which lost well into the seven figures in member dollars for the same time period. When I asked questions in 2020 of CFO Philip Bonaventura and then-Foundation President Joe Cohen about what was going on, I was stonewalled for months and then retaliated against. It is my view that the PRSA Foundation’s tax-exempt status should be audited. https://lnkd.in/gJDygPpT.
