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.

Responsibilities:

• Provide visible leadership through financial support to the Foundation. Trustees can donate at a level that is comfortable for them. All donations, regardless of amount, are appreciated.
• Help the Foundation identify and contact potential donors, at all levels of giving, for unrestricted and specific projects.
• Be an advocate for the Foundation’s mission and activities.
• Assist in educating others on the ongoing need for support of countless Nebraska history programs.
• Attend and participate in the Foundation’s Annual Meeting.
• Attend and participate in Foundation events when possible.

Time Commitment:

Trustees are elected at the Board of Trustees annual meeting and serve a three-year term. At other times during the year, Trustees may be asked by the President or Executive Director to participate on committees or in other Foundation activities.
