Nebraskans continue to show what a strong, engaged community can accomplish together. As of today [Dec.10], Civic Nebraska has raised nearly $20,000 toward our $25,000 Democracy Challenge match.That means we are within striking distance of unlocking the full match and doubling the impact of every contribution before year’s end.

We’re deeply grateful for this momentum and for everyone who has stepped up to strengthen Nebraska’s democracy. Reaching this goal allows us to start 2026 with as much force as possible – and not a moment too soon. In the new year, Civic Nebraska will again be on the front lines at the statehouse defending Nebraskans’ voting rights and protecting fair elections from efforts to restrict or undermine them. Your support ensures we can meet those challenges head-on with the staff, strategy, and staying power that this work demands.

These resources also fuel our statewide civic health programs, which help communities build trust, connection, and local problem-solving capacity. And they sustain our civic learning initiatives in schools and youth groups, which prepare young Nebraskans to lead with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

If you’ve already given, thank you. You’re powering real, meaningful work. If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to help push us over the finish line and unlock the full match.

With your support, we’ll enter 2026 with strength, resolve, and a renewed commitment to a modern and robust democracy for all. Thank you for your support!
