Smith, former CEO of the Nebraska State Historical Society, to address a critical funding need for local historical and educational organizations across Nebraska. Through this program, grants support museums, historical societies, libraries, and community partners in delivering core education, preservation, and interpretive programs that bring community history to life.

Since 2021, RoamNebraska has awarded 266 grants totaling more than $295,000 to museums, libraries, and local historical organizations across the state. These investments have strengthened communities by funding technology upgrades, supporting festivals and public programs, purchasing exhibit cases, facilitating classroom visits, and expanding access to Nebraska’s shared heritage.

The Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation is committed to advancing efforts that build respect, dignity, fairness, equality, and self-esteem. We value diverse life experiences and are devoted to fostering inclusive and equitable environments where all Nebraskans can see their stories reflected and honored. Help us continue this momentum.

Your support fuels local preservation, empowers community storytellers, and ensures that Nebraska’s history remains vibrant in every corner of the state. Make a gift to RoamNebraska today and be part of strengthening Nebraska’s communities — one story at a time.

“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.
