Protecting Your Community's Money

Amendment 1 has strict limitations that hold communities accountable for public endowment investments and put safeguards in place to make sure communities are managing their public endowments wisely.

Investments would be run by trustees who have a legal obligation to invest wisely to protect the endowment funds.

Community member boards will oversee the funds and must adhere to strict rules on spending.

As an additional safeguard, the Nebraska Legislature may provide oversight.
