Building for Nebraska's Future   

As Nebraska’s largest statewide business association, the NE Chamber works to ensure businesses of all sizes across the state stay competitive and continue to grow. As part of the effort to make Nebraska an even better place to do business, the NE Chamber Foundation, through the following initiatives, works hand in hand with the NE Chamber.

Leadership Nebraska   
​
Leadership Nebraska is a program designed for current and future Nebraska leaders to advance their leadership skills and broaden their understanding of issues and opportunities facing our state. The program builds a sense of statewide community by identifying and training individuals with a commitment to become personally engaged in issues, programs and activities aimed at better serving Nebraska.  Since the inception of Leadership Nebraska in 2007, over three hundred citizens have participated and gained a stronger perspective of how they can contribute to Nebraska’s future.  

Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Scholarship  
​
Recognizing past business accomplishments is important, but it is imperative that we build on our future to ensure Nebraska's strong future business leaders. The Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Scholarship program was created to provide annual scholarship assistance to deserving students attending recognized Nebraska colleges or universities and seeking degrees in business-related fields of study.

Non-Partisan Research Projects
