Amplify Your Impact
Giving to the Nebraska Cultural Endowment is easy and amplifies your impact by leveraging our privately supported and publicly matched resources to permanently sustain arts & humanities programs statewide.
The NCE’s one-of-a-kind donations match is made possible by legislation which allows annual $1 million increases to a publicly held Cultural Preservation Endowment Fund (CPEF), the NCE’s public matching fund, from 2021 to 2030. This is only possible with your ongoing support.
These annual increases are contingent upon you, our community, coming together to meet the State of Nebraska’s challenge match with tax-deductible donations to the Nebraska Cultural Endowment. Gifts are matched dollar-for-dollar and create impact today and for future generations.
Please contact our Executive Director to discuss how you can ensure an endless tradition of arts & humanities for generations to come.
Ways to Give
By giving to the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, you are ensuring there will be permanent support for things we can’t even imagine yet – the NCE is flexible and perpetual.
There are many ways you can give that will make a long-term impact for generations to come. Gifts today and in your plans will continue to be at work long after we’re all gone.
Please consider giving to support Nebraska’s arts & humanities in one of the following ways:
Legacy Donors
Join fellow visionaries by becoming a Legacy Donor. It’s as simple as including the Nebraska Cultural Endowment in your will or another planned gift. Our Legacy Donors transform the future of Nebraska’s cultural fabric to ensure every Nebraskan has access to the arts and humanities for generations to come.
To learn more, download our Legacy Giving Guide or contact our Executive Director to discuss how you can ensure an endless tradition of arts and humanities for generations to come through your own legacy.
Legacy Donors Letter of IntentMemorial & Tribute Gifts
Make a gift to recognize someone special in your life. Tribute gifts may celebrate a significant anniversary, birthday or other occasion. Memorial gifts are a fitting way to honor the memory of a loved one or friend. The recipient or families of those honored will be notified, and their name will live on in perpetuity with the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock
With a charitable gift of appreciated securities, the donation you make and the deduction you get may be greater than they would be if you were to sell the shares and donate the cash proceeds instead.
Please contact our Executive Director to discuss how you can ensure an endless tradition of arts & humanities for generations to come through a gift of appreciated stock.
Cash Gift or Pledge
Make an online donation, cash gift or multi-year commitment today to receive a 100% match on your support and ensure a bright future for Nebraska – a future full of endless arts & humanities opportunities.
