Membership
The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum is 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, which means members are the backbone of our organization. They are our ambassadors, our advocates and our supporters. They keep the lights on, the doors open and the good, green work continuing. Please become a member (or renew your existing membership) to help us Plant Nebraska today, tomorrow and in the years to come!
There are two ways to be a member: annual renewal or monthly giving. Monthly giving provides us with stability as we can count on consistent monthly donations, allowing us to do the work without worrying about the bills. Both annual renewal members and monthly givers will receive a member card when joining and then will receive new cards annually when it's time to renew. Additionally, you can set your membership to auto-renew annually, so you can set it and forget it! Don't worry - we will send out a reminder email each year before you are charged, so you won't have any surprises.
All donations to the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum are tax-deductible (including memberships).
