Thanks to your support, we are able to serve all Nebraskans: all ages, all geographic areas of the state, all walks of life. Membership Levels We offer five different membership levels, but welcome and appreciate gifts of all sizes. All donations make a difference to our programs. Other Gift Options Learn more about how to make gifts in memory, recurring gifts, stock gifts, or to include the Nebraska Humanities Council in your estate plans. Governor's Lecture The Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities is an annual event that features a pre-lecture benefit dinner that raises critical funds for statewide humanities programming. Current Donors We deeply appreciates the generosity of our donors, who make hundreds of programs possible across the state every year, touching the lives of thousands of Nebraskans. These donors—individuals, foundations, businesses, and other institutions—are investing in our future. Nebraska Cultural Endowment The Nebraska Cultural Endowment represents a unique partnership between the State of Nebraska and the people of Nebraska. It is a special fund that will help sustain arts and humanities programming from the Nebraska Arts Council and Nebraska Humanities Council. Community Services Fund The Nebraska Humanities Council is a proud member of Community Services Fund, a member organization of nonprofit agencies improving the quality of life in Nebraska by preserving resources, expanding knowledge, encouraging creativity, and protecting rights. Volunteering With a small staff and a LOT of programs around the state, we are always looking for people interested in volunteering their time and talent.     A few ways you help the Nebraska Humanities Council have a positive impact on our state every year: A quarter-million dollars in grants are distributed to other organizations for humanities programs throughout the state. The NHC Speakers Bureau reaches about 50,000 Nebraskans in communities of all sizes Hundreds of Nebraska high school students learn about important international issues and become more civically engaged through Capitol Forum. Prime Time Family Reading Time helps hundreds of Hispanic families learn about their local libraries and the importance of reading, increasing the odds that the participating children will stay in school and perform well academically. Thousands of people come together in rural Nebraska communities to celebrate and learn about our history through Chautauqua. Thousands more Nebraskans experience and enjoy other Humanities Council programs: Museum on Main Street exhibitions, the Nebraska Book Festival, and the Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities.  Thank you for your financial support of these programs!   DONATE ONLINE NOW   For a printable pledge form (pdf format): CLICK HERE   Donor Bill of Rights The Nebraska Humanities Council and Nebraska Foundation for the Humanities believe in maintaining the highest standards of professional and ethical fundraising, and have adopted a Donor Bill of Rights as one way to guide our relationship with our donors.
