Doernemann Construction: Building Clarkson’s Future, One Generation at a Time
Since 1981, the Doernemann family has helped shape Clarkson’s foundation with Doernemann Construction; now they’re helping lay the groundwork for what comes next as one of the lead donors to the Clarkson Future Fund. As one of our four lead donors in the Homegrown Challenge Campaign, Doernemann Construction helped us meet our $300,000 goal, unlocking a $50,000 grant from the Nebraska Community Foundation. But more than that, their gift helped launch a forever endowment and one that will give back to Clarkson year after year!
The Doernemann family has always called Clarkson home; their entire family, grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren have lived and worked their entire lives in Clarkson. They can't imagine living anywhere else.
Kathy and Jarrett Doerenmann shared “Over the last few years, we’ve seen several significant businesses close. We are committed to making Clarkson a more vibrant and inviting community, where people will be inspired and encouraged to start new businesses and keep existing businesses growing.”
They gave not just to honor the past, but to build a future. A future that reflects their deep appreciation for the support Clarkson has shown Doernemann Construction over the years. A future where their grandchildren and yours can thrive. A future where there are more opportunities, more reasons to stay or return, and more pride in calling Clarkson home.
We’re beyond grateful to the Doernemann family for being a part of this movement. Thank you for helping pave the way for Clarkson’s future!
