Campaign for Hope
Building A Stronger Community
Hope is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Unfortunately, for the children and families served by Child Saving Institute (CSI), hope can seem unfamiliar.
When life becomes challenging, hope shouldn’t be so distant. CSI has provided hope and healing for children and families through supportive services for 133 years.
You’ve seen the difference this work makes. Whether it’s mental health services, early childhood education or our emergency youth shelter—you know the critical impact it has if families cannot access such services.
With your support, we can build a stronger community. Together, we can provide hope.
Thank you to each and every one of our supporters. We could not continue to do this important work without each of you. Because of your generosity, we will continue to provide life-changing services to more children and families in the Omaha community—long into the future.
Campaign Focuses

Mental Health Services
Over the past several years, CSI has doubled the size of its mental health services to meet the growing needs of the Omaha community. A dedicated space intentionally designed for pediatric and adolescent therapy where children, teens and families can begin their healing journey is critical.

Emergency Youth Shelter
Our Emergency Shelter was originally built for young children but the older teens who live there today have different needs. The new Youth Shelter will add robust educational and physical activity spaces, and allow for youth to have their own bedrooms—all of which are crucial to a youth’s overall wellbeing.

Early Childhood Education
For decades, CSI has been a community leader in early childhood education. Nationally, the need for high-quality childcare continues to outpace the availability. The expansion of CSI’s early childhood education program increases its capacity by 25% to serve even more children.
