About 1890 Nebraska
1890 Nebraska is a name, image, and likeness (NIL)
collective founded to support NIL initiatives for Nebraska student-athletes. Founders
Tom and Shawn Peed fully fund the
collective's operating expenses, so fans can rest assured that 100%
of their contributions go directly to student-athletes. 1890 offers
two options for all contributors: The 1890 Initiative and The 1890
Foundation.
The 1890 Initiative. Contributions to the 1890 Initiative
are now eligible to earn Huskers Athletic Fund priority points,
merchandise, Husker memorabilia, and exclusive access to Husker
experiences. Nebraska Athletics uses Huskers Athletic Fund priority
points for season ticket upgrades and to fulfill postseason and
away contest ticket requests.
The 1890 Foundation. The 1890 Foundation is a registered
501(c)(3) entity, meaning your contributions may be tax-deductible.
Donations to the Foundation support local charities and other
501(c)(3) organizations, providing valuable NIL opportunities for
student-athletes.
How to Choose? Both options directly support our
student-athletes and contribute to their success. The 1890
Foundation is ideal for those looking to decline priority points in
exchange for tax-deductible contributions and community engagement,
while The 1890 Initiative offers exclusive membership perks.
