Eppley Foundation
The Eugene C. Eppley Foundation was founded in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded by Omaha hotel magnate Eugene C. Eppley, the foundation was the leading benefactor for several charities and institutions in the Midwestern United States. (This is not to be confused with the Eppley Foundation for Research, which primarily supports advanced postdoctoral research in the physical and biological sciences. The latter was founded by Marion Eppley, and its offices are based in New York City.) 〔("Eppley Foundation" ), American Educational Research Association. Retrieved 2/3/08.〕
==About==
Beginning in 1949, the Eppley Foundation contributed to a variety of educational, healthcare and civic endeavors. Eppley was a longtime friend of Dr. Milo Bail, the president of the Omaha University from 1948 until 1965. During that time the Eppley Foundation gave more than $1.2 million to the university. After Eppley's passing, the Eppley Foundation donated another $50,000 to recruit distinguished professors. The Eppley Library (now the Administration building) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha was named in recognition of the Foundation's giving.〔("There's more to UNO buildings that just a name" ), ''Gateway'', July 10, 2004.

In the 1950s, the foundation donated a substantial amount of the costs to build the Gene Eppley Boys Club located on North 24th Street in North Omaha.〔Daly-Bednarek, J. ''The Changing Image of the City: Planning for Downtown Omaha, 1945-1973''. University of Nebraska Press. p 72.〕 In 1960 the foundation donated $1 million to the city to convert the Omaha Municipal Airport to a jet port to better connect to the rest of the nation. It was renamed Eppley Airfield in his honor.〔Eppley Grant of $1 Million Gives Omaha Jet Field - ''Lincoln Evening Journal'', 1959-12-31〕
In the 1970s the foundation funded Eppley Fellowships at the Smithsonian Institution for research in a variety of issues.〔("Finding Aids to Official Records of the Smithsonian Institution: Record Unit 412" ), Smithsonian Institution.
