In November 1989, United Airlines established a trust fund for community grants and scholarships through the Siouxland Community Foundation.
The trust fund was in appreciation of Siouxland's valiant rescue and recovery efforts during the aftermath of the July 19, 1989, United Airlines Flight 232 crash at Sioux Gateway Airport.
Since the first awards were made in 1990, $731,720 has been given to area nonprofit organizations and local colleges. Grants enhance the ability of Siouxland communities to respond in emergency and disaster situations. The scholarship program assists students pursuing an education in emergency rescue, nursing, medical care, counseling, social work, clergy, or law enforcement.
