Nebraska Greats Foundation Celebrates a Record-Breaking Year in 2025
The Nebraska Greats Foundation (NGF) is proud to announce that 2025 has already become the most impactful year in our history. With 14 grants awarded and over $175,000 in financial support distributed so far this year, NGF is reaching more recipients than ever before and we’re just getting started!
The Nebraska Greats Foundation exists to support former Nebraska college athletes who face medical and financial challenges long after their playing days are over. Our mission is to provide assistance, hope, and dignity to those who once brought pride to their universities and communities, ensuring that no Nebraska Great is left behind when life presents its toughest battles.
Every dollar granted is a lifeline that helps cover medical expenses, treatments, rehabilitation, or day-to-day needs for those who once wore Nebraska’s colors with pride.

- The growing awareness of NGF’s mission across Nebraska and beyond.
- The generosity of our donors and supporters who make it possible to extend a hand to more recipients every year.
