Philanthropy

Jerry J. O'Keefe was a donor and energetic fundraiser for social service organizations, schools, and museums, including the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art. In 1996, following the Loewen Settlement, Jerry J. O’Keefe and his wife, Annette, established the O'Keefe Foundation. Following her passing, Jerry presented a generous donation to the Ohr Museum of Art in his wife’s name. In her honor, the Ohr Museum of Art was renamed the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art. The O'Keefe Foundation continues to be a principal supporter of the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum. The legacy of Jeremiah Joseph "Jerry" O'Keefe III continues through the O'Keefe Foundation.
