The Nebraska United Methodist Foundation, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, supports local church ministries and the Great Plains Conference of the United Methodist Church by developing gifts and stewarding resources entrusted to it. Incorporated in 1965 and merged in 1998 with the Nebraska United Methodist Extension Foundation, the foundation manages a substantial pool of assets for donors, churches, and institutions. The organization operates with a small staff that collaborates with churches, agencies, and conference members to maximize the impact of gifts and assets. It offers services such as creating and growing endowment funds, presenting guidance on financial matters, and conducting gift and estate planning seminars, along with workshops and planned gift visits, all at no cost to churches and conference ministries. A notable recent development is the appointment of Kristine Roberts as Director of Stewardship in 2022, reflecting ongoing efforts to support stewardship across the network.
