The Schildberg Construction Company of Greenfield, Iowa
was founded in 1936 by a great husband and wife team, E.F. and Sylvia
Schildberg. The couple valued hard work, honesty, loyalty and desire to help
others. The company prospered over the years. E.F. and Sylvia always gave a
great share of credit for their success to their employees and customers.
On September 30, 1986, fifty years after the founding
of the Schildberg Construction Company, the Schildberg Foundation was created
by Sylvia Schildberg as an expression of appreciation to the people of this
area. The purpose of the Foundation is to give financial assistance to
non-profit, charitable, educational or other causes that better the human
condition and encourage community betterment.
It was Sylvia’s hope that in helping others the ultimate reward would be
for that same dedication to be passed on to future generations.
