Our donors

The University of Nebraska Foundation enjoys amazing support from a broad range of donors both from within the state of Nebraska and across the United States. Many donors including alums and non-alums alike support the university.

We recognize those donors whose philanthropy has greatly enhanced the University of Nebraska through the University of Nebraska Foundation Giving Society.

Members of the Nebraska Circle, President's Society and Chancellor's Society directly influence the University of Nebraska and its stature as an institution dedicated to teaching, research and service, strengthening the national and international reputation of the institution.

Many academic programs would go unfunded or could not achieve the next level of excellence without support from loyal individuals or organizations.

As a member of the University of Nebraska Foundation Giving Society, you become part of a group who receive special mailings updating you on current university happenings, as well as invitations to special events and activities on and off campus. You will also be recognized in university and foundation publications.
