“Since 2020, the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation has awarded over $295,000 to organizations across the state, helping them upgrade technology, inspire students, improve exhibits, support festivals, and much more. Nebraska has never had a statewide grants program to assist local history organizations—including museums, archives, libraries, and historical societies.
While states such as Florida, Montana, and Minnesota have long provided such support, Nebraska’s local historical efforts have operated without similar resources. Our grants program fills this longstanding gap and invests directly in the preservation of local stories and community identity. We believe history belongs to everyone.
The Foundation is committed to promoting dignity, respect, and fairness, and to creating inclusive and equitable opportunities for all Nebraskans to engage with their history.
