Since 1876, the Nebraska Society of Washington, D.C. has sought to strengthen cultural and patriotic ties, binding Nebraskans living in the Washington D.C. area, and to promote the welfare of Nebraska, its citizens, traditions, and institutions. This is accomplished through social events, philanthropy, and through a scholarship program that assists Nebraska students seeking internships in the Washington D.C. area. Today, the Society is one of the strongest and most vibrant state organizations in the Nation’s Capital.
