Sponsor the Step Forward Awards

Each year ServeNebraska partners with the Governor to host the Step Forward Awards to honor volunteers from across the state. This event is the state's most prestigious awards for volunteerism and recognizes outstanding people and groups for their time and service. Please consider becoming a sponsor for this year's Step Forward Awards.

It's important that the hard work of volunteers doesn't go unrecognized. We couldn't thank these volunteers the way they deserve or grow Nebraska's culture of community service without the help of our generous sponsors. There are several levels of contribution available and funds go towards hosting the volunteer luncheon each year and supporting initiatives to increase volunteer participation across the state. 

This year's luncheon will take place at Tiburon Golf Club in Omaha on October 4, 2024.
