For more than three decades, the Lied Center for Performing Arts has been Nebraska's premier stage for world-class performances, community engagement and transformative arts education. Every season, the Lied Center opens doors to transformative experiences—bringing Broadway, classical music, dance, and innovative programming to audiences of all ages.

Endowments

An endowed fund is a permanent and perpetual gift that will have a lasting impact at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. With an endowed fund, the principal is invested, and a distribution is generated each year to fund the priority designated by the donor. Make a gift to help grow an existing Lied Center endowment or start your own with a minimum gift of $50,000 (estimated annual distribution of $2,125) through the University of Nebraska Foundation.
