Roy and Gloria Dinsdale Foundation Letter of Interest
Established in 2022, the Roy and Gloria Dinsdale Foundation is a private foundation based in Omaha, Nebraska. The foundation honors Gloria and the late Roy Dinsdale, executive chairman of Pinnacle Bancorp, Inc and founder of Pinnacle Bank. The Board of Directors is made up of Roy and Gloria’s three children, Jane Dinsdale Rogers, Chris Dinsdale and Sid Dinsdale.
Roy Dinsdale was the 3rd generation to live in Palmer, NE. He and Gloria married in 1949 and settled in Palmer. Roy and Gloria each were influenced by their upbringing in small Nebraska towns, where people help each other and support each other, when there is a need.
This concept of helping each other by giving back, drives the Foundation to provide support in the communities Pinnacle Bank, Bank of Colorado and other Dinsdale companies serve.
