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 $2.1 million in funds for improvements that the fair needed to continue to grow. That’s incredible!

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.
