What is Give Nebraska and how is it different from other giving agencies?

Give Nebraska is a federation of nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life in Nebraska and exists to connect donors to the causes they care about most.

“Give Nebraska strongly believes in empowering donors to make independent decisions about their philanthropy,” said Melissa Filipi, Give Nebraska executive director. “Donors have the option — no matter the size of their gift — to designate their donation dollars to more than 70 different statewide agencies.”

COVID-19 has brought many challenges to the community, neighbors, families, leaders, businesses and nonprofits. These agencies need people’s support more than ever; now is the time to come together to support those who are striving to make the community a better place to live for all.
