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.
