Trustees
The Foundation is proud of our 182 trustees now representing seven states. For a list of our trustees, please contact lfattig@nshsf.org
Since its founding in 1942, the Foundation has served as partner to Nebraska State Historical Society. Among its duties, the Foundation manages bequests and endowments and raises money from its Trustees and from the wider community to underwrite selected statewide programs and activities for the benefit of Nebraskans everywhere.
- Annual Support
Trustees are expected to demonstrate visible leadership through an annual financial contribution. A minimum gift of $500 is requested, though many choose to give at higher levels. Full participation is essential and deeply appreciated. - Engagement and Advocacy
Trustees help identify and engage prospective donors, raise awareness of the Foundation’s needs, and support both general operations and special projects. - Membership
Trustees must maintain a household-level annual membership with the Nebraska State Historical Society ($75/year), which includes a subscription to Nebraska History magazine and free admission to all NSHS sites. - Participation
The Board convenes once annually. Additional involvement—such as committee service or support of key initiatives—may be requested throughout the year. - Term Length
Trustee terms are three (3) years.
