Women Investing in Nebraska engages, educates and empowers philanthropists by collectively awarding annual grants to bold University of Nebraska and nonprofit initiatives addressing important issues in the state.

Each member gives a gift and collectively we vote on one Nebraska nonprofit and one University of Nebraska project to receive a grant annually.

WIN members are interested in philanthropy and Nebraska. Our members live across the state with a number of members living outside Nebraska. Members need not be alumnae of the university.

WIN members are welcome to join the Grants, Education or Membership committees. There is no required participation beyond the membership gift, so members can be as engaged as they want to be.

"What I love about WIN is the depth and breadth of discussions and the thought that goes into our decisions on what projects to fund."
