What We Do

The Foundation helps fund the Omaha Downtown Improvement District Association and helps preserve, create and enhance a clean, green, safe, active, competitive and thriving Downtown Omaha that attracts and retains businesses, employees, residents, and visitors. That means hiring and managing a team of both full-time and contracted gardeners, arborists, cleaning crews, security staff and more who are focused on downtown Omaha's public areas, as well as capital investments in better lighting, alley cleanup projects, downtown visitor perks and hosting events such as small business seminars and community cleanup efforts. Our staff has helped build, maintain or promoted some of the places, activities or events that you recognize as making downtown Omaha -- whether it's the Riverfront, 16th street, Old Market or the Capitol District and beyond -- a great place to work, live or have fun.
