Every year since 2015, the Olsson Foundation has supported nonprofit organizations in the communities Olsson serves. The foundation is committed to working with groups that are dedicated to education, the environment, and their community. In 2024, 13 organizations were selected as part of the annual grant program.

One of the organizations that received funding this year is Delivering Infinite Book Shelves (DIBS) for Kids, which is an elementary literacy nonprofit based out of Omaha, Nebraska. The organization works to provide every child with access to powerful in-home reading experiences every school night.

Maegan Woolf, Olsson Community Impact Council member, says “The DIBS mission is easy to get behind and we enjoy this opportunity to improve reading proficiency in our community. Seeing the full list of organizations that the Olsson Foundation supports this year makes me proud and excited about the future of our communities.”

Here is a full list of organizations we supported this year:
