Hixson-Lied Endowment
Miss
Christina Hixson, the sole trustee of the Lied Foundation
Trust, announced a gift of $18 million to the University of
Nebraska Foundation to support UNL's College of Fine and Performing
Arts in January 2000. The endowment, named the Christina M.
Hixson-Lied Foundation Trust Endowment for the College of
Fine and Performing Arts, benefits all areas of the college.
Half of the fund's income provides support for programs in
the college and the college's affiliated organizations, including
the Lied Center for Performing Arts, Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery, Mary Riepma Ross Film Theater, Lentz Center for Asian
Culture and the Nebraska Repertory Theatre. The remaining
funds are divided equally to support faculty and students.
The Hixson-Lied Advisory Board was created to review and react
to proposals for funding support from the Hixson-Lied Endowment
to benefit the College and its affiliated organizations. The
board encourages proposals that will truly advance excellence
in the College and enhance its national reputation. Additionally,
the board is involved in overseeing the investment of the
endowed funds in cooperation with the University of Nebraska
Foundation's Finance Committee.
