An easy way to help Nebraska's endangered species
When you prepare your taxes, remember the Wildlife Conservation Fund! Since 1984, this fund has helped the thousands of non-game species that call Nebraska home, particularly those that are endangered or threatened. Your donations allow wildlife experts to improve habitat, conduct research and re-introduction projects, and much more!
Nebraska's state income tax form includes a space to donate any or all of your tax refund to the Wildlife Conservation Fund (look for the peregrine falcon symbol!). You can also make donations online or by buying a wildlife license plate.
