All gifts matter, and giving societies are one way for us to say thank you to our most generous and loyal donors. Through giving societies, we honor those whose gifts help change lives and save lives.
When you become a part of one or more giving societies, we show our appreciation and recognize you for your contributions and commitment to the University of Nebraska.
The University of Nebraska doesn’t expand and grow without the generous support of private donors.
University of Nebraska Foundation Giving Society members 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 programs would go unfunded, or could not achieve the next level of excellence, without support from these loyal individuals and organizations.
It is our goal to make sure members of the Giving Society know how much we value their dedication and tremendous investment in the University of Nebraska. To offer our thanks and recognition, Giving Society members may receive a number of courtesies, including specialized digital communications, foundation and university publications, invitations to campus events and activities, as well as public recognition and acknowledgment at member events.

The President’s Society recognizes friends and alumni from each of the university’s four campuses who have reached the cumulative outright giving level of $100,000.

Specifically, the University of Nebraska president hosts football and hockey pre-game festivities each year for members on multiple campuses. President’s Society members may also receive public recognition and acknowledgment at special events.

Since 1967, the University of Nebraska Foundation has recognized donors who, through their consistent giving to the University of Nebraska, have raised the stature of the institution. These donors are members of the foundation’s Giving Society. The Burnett Society specifically recognizes members of this group who support the university through a planned gift. The group takes its name from Edgar A. Burnett, a chancellor at the University of Nebraska during the Great Depression, who recognized the university would not succeed on state funding alone. Burnett called on 30 business and civic leaders, and together, they created the University of Nebraska Foundation to raise private funds for the university. The foundation received its first bequest in 1937 from a former faculty member; the second came in 1938 from an alumnus and 40-year employee of the library.
Kim has a bachelor’s degree in child, youth and family studies from UNL and has been with the foundation since 2006. As the primary contact for the Burnett Society, she leads the foundation's efforts to thank planned gift donors for their generosity. She enjoys connecting donors with the university and finding meaningful ways to share with them the lasting impact they will have through their giving.
Amanda graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2008 with a Bachelor of Journalism in Advertising and Psychology. She joined the University of Nebraska Foundation team the same year. Amanda is passionate about nonprofit work and enjoys using her unique skill set to advance the mission of the University of Nebraska.
