The Nebraska Catholic Day of Giving May 6 raised more than $1 million for Catholic schools, parishes and ministries across the state.

The annual fundraiser, in its third year in 2026, featured organizations from the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln, the Archdiocese of Omaha and the Catholic Diocese of Grand Island.

The total raised across all three (arch)dioceses this year was $1,038,662, following donations of $1,042,386 in 2025. If funds raised just before the advanced giving window opened in April and funds that came in after the post-giving period were included, this year’s total would have exceeded previous giving totals.

“The Nebraska Catholic Day of Giving is a great opportunity for everyone to support the Catholic Church across Nebraska,” said Bishop James Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln. “I am so grateful to everyone who made a donation that will help fund the good work being done by our Catholic organizations in the state.”

The 42 participating organizations in the Diocese of Lincoln received a total of $469,767 in donations. Of that total, schools brought in nearly $204,000, ministries more than $184,000 and parishes more than $82,000.
