We are active members of the places where we work, live, and serve.

We focus our impact on education, environment, and community.

Olsson Foundation

Our history of community involvement dates to 1956, when our founder, John E. Olsson, established a legacy of serving others with our time, talents, and resources. In 2015, we established the Olsson Foundation, a 501c(3) private foundation to improve the lives of the people we serve.
