The Nebraska State Historical Foundation's (NSHSF) Spring RoamNebraska Impact Grants Program has awarded $63,501 to 38 organizations across 33 Nebraska communities, with a focus on preserving local history, expanding educational opportunities, and strengthening community connections. This year's grant recipients include Friends of the Historic Midwest Theater and Legacy of the Plains (Japanese Hall), among others. These grants support a wide range of projects, from technology and display cases to educational events, audiobooks, and speaker expenses. The program has become a signature initiative since its launch in 2020, with a second grant cycle added in Fall 2024 to meet growing demand. The Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation has awarded over $345,000 in total grant funding to date, with a commitment to preserving and promoting Nebraska history in all 93 counties. The RoamNebraska Grants Program is funded through donor support and reflects NSHSF's dedication to Nebraska's historical preservation and community engagement.
