Child Saving Institute (CSI) (childsaving.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing services to under-resourced children, youth and families, will proudly commemorate its 133rd anniversary on April 4. Alongside this milestone, CSI continues to make strides with the Campaign for Hope, a capital initiative aimed at expanding and enhancing its facilities and programs.

Over the past 133 years, CSI has continuously adapted its programs to meet the ever-changing needs of children and families in the Omaha community. The ongoing Campaign for Hope seeks to raise funds to support CSI’s growth and development.

Key goals of the campaign include:

  • Expansion of CSI’s Emergency Shelter to provide safe and nurturing short-term placement for additional youth in crisis
  • Improved and additional trauma-informed spaced for CSI’s Mental Health Services, with a goal of expanding to 16 mental health practitioners
  • Investments in technology and infrastructure to improve service and enhance client outcomes

“We are thrilled to celebrate our 133rd anniversary while continuing to make progress in our Campaign for Hope,” said Jaymes Sime, President and CEO at CSI. “CSI has a rich legacy of providing hope and support to thousands of children and families in Omaha. With the community’s continued support, we look forward to furthering this important work for generations to come.”

To date, CSI has raised $44,845,697 towards the $46M goal. To contribute and learn more information about the Campaign for Hope, visit childsaving.org/campaignforhope.
