PROGRAMS

Through the unique public-private partnership with the State of Nebraska, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment has distributed over $4 million to arts organizations and for arts and humanities programming, through the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Humanities Council. With the recent increase in the public fund that matches each contribution to the Cultural Endowment, additional matching dollars will be available each year for distribution for the arts and humanities across the state.
