As Chloe Veltman with NPR said, we do things a little differently in Nebraska, and not just because of the chili and cinnamon rolls. Nebraska's arts and humanities are supported by the only public-private endowment partnership - the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

Thank you to Chloe for visiting Nebraska and sharing the story of why public-private cultural funding matters. The article was aired on Weekend Edition Saturday on July 18th, and covers:

• Why the Nebraska Cultural Endowment was founded nearly 30 years ago
• How it continues to fund vital programs, like Prime Time Family Reading
• What's at risk if our State disinvests in its culture

Listen to or read the article, and share it with your community - Nebraska is truly special!

Celebrating 25 years of statewide support for the arts & humanities

Established in 1998, the NCE is the first and only public-private cultural trust in the nation built to support and sustain the arts and humanities. Each year, Endowment funds are distributed across the state through our partners at the Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska, contributing to the quality of life for all Nebraskans.
