The 1868 Foundation continues the winning tradition of education, competition and celebration. Young or old, Nebraskans have gained from their State Fair experiences and have used new knowledge, skills, talents, and creativity throughout their lives!
From the Chairman
To my fellow 1868 Foundation supporters,
I am so proud to be a part of the Nebraska State Fair 1868 Foundation. The 1868 Foundation works so hard to generate funds to provide assistance to the Nebraska State Fair. Since 2010, the 1868 Foundation has given over $1.7 million in funds for improvements that the fair needed to continue to grow. That’s incredible!
These efforts would not be possible without the determination of its loyal individuals, corporations, and foundations who are determined to keep our state fair on the cutting edge of fairs and expositions across the nation.
The following individuals and businesses have made a tax-deductible contribution to the 1868 Foundation. Your support sends a loud message that you place a high value on your Nebraska State Fair, its tradition, heritage and culture.
There is no way to fully express our gratitude for your loyalty. The 1868 Foundation is continually inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors like you. The Foundation, its officers and its directors are grateful for all contributions, as each brings us one step closer to our goal our and mission of supporting the future of the Nebraska State Fair.
We'll see you at the fair!
