Support the Fund

HOW CAN I HELP?

The Foundation has started a capital campaign to raise the funds necessary for this noble cause. The life of every Nebraskan has been touched by a Nebraska firefighter, and we are asking for everyone’s help to make this dream a reality.

Your financial support will help honor the firefighters in your area and throughout the state. It will also help protect the lives and property of your family, friends and community through the Museum’s extensive educational programs and exhibits.

All contributions will be greatly appreciated, however, the following Donor Clubs are available for permanent recognition on the Donor Wall of Honor at the Museum.

Most pledges are paid over three years, although pledges of $15,000 or more can be arranged to be paid over five years.  This payment plan applies to individuals, companies and fire departments.

The Nebraska Firefighters Foundation and Nebraska firefighters are hopeful that all Nebraskans will share our dream. With your help, the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Education Center and the Nebraska Firefighters Memorial Garden will be a landmark in our state from now for years to come. This is YOUR museum which will benefit all of the state.

There are several ways that YOU can be a part of the statewide team of supporters, whether through donating financially to the museum, donating financially to the Memorial Garden Fund, donating artifacts, photos, information or equipment for display, or through volunteering at the facility. If you would like to join us, please contact us at (308) 338-FIRE (3473), or print, complete and mail the forms provided.
