For 12 more hours, every gift gets doubled. Then our year-end drive comes to an end, we head back to the office, and our incredible staff gets back to finding stories that represent the best of Nebraska. If you're a reader, donor or both, thank you for letting us do this work.
We tell stories that bind Nebraskans together. An Omaha 12-year-old with an angel’s voice. The hunt for the elusive pawpaw fruit near Nebraska City. A genius new use for sheep’s wool. Support uplifting stories. Donate to FFP today:

On my birthday, I'd be honored if you'd consider supporting the best journalism we can muster.
In 3 years, FFP has gone from idea to 8-person newsroom writing crucial stories that win national awards – while informing Nebraskans border to border. Help us tell more of our state’s stories. Donate in 2024 and your gift will be doubled!

We heard about this incredible program during a listening tour, and knew we'd write about it. Love that it's part of Nebraska Evolving, a series about our immigration reality that @nataliaalamdari has simply knocked out of the park.
