FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) is investing in the future of agriculture through contributions to student-focused programs in Lincoln.
For the ninth year, FNBO is investing $12,000 in the Nebraska FFA Launch! Program, a partnership between the Nebraska FFA Foundation and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Engler Entrepreneurship program. The initiative brings entrepreneurship education into classrooms across Nebraska.
The year-long program guides high school students and teachers through the process of developing valuable, sustainable business ideas that address real-world challenges.
FNBO also donated $500 to the FFA chapter at The Career Academy, a collaboration between Lincoln Public Schools and Southeast Community College that provides students with hands-on learning opportunities.
“Agriculture isn’t just an industry we finance; it’s a community we’re proud to be a part of and support,” said Christina Kahler, vice president of community impact. “Through our partnership with FFA, we’re helping young people explore the diverse career paths agriculture offers while investing in the future of this industry we care deeply about.”
The contributions, made in recognition of National Ag Week, reflect FNBO’s ongoing commitment to strengthening agricultural education and preparing the next generation of industry leaders in Lincoln and across Nebraska.
As the third largest agribusiness lender in the country, FNBO offers a full suite of capabilities to producers including lending, payments, insurance and international banking.
