International Rescue Committee

Once upon a time, two theater artists were traveling through western Nebraska, talking about their dreams. As life-long theater professionals then working at Lied Center for Performing Arts,  Becky Boesen and Petra Wahlqvist dreamed of focusing all of their efforts on the following: the development of new works, innovative education and engagement, and creativity-based community development. Most importantly, they wanted to continue to build on a tradition of collaborating to create high-quality theater that helps connect people, creates meaningful conversations, and unleashes community action.
<br><br>
They made it back home, gave the Lied Center one year's notice, and BLIXT (the Swedish word for "lightning") was born. In 2018 BLIXT received our official designation as a 501c3.

Weirdos welcome. Always.

The mission of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is to provide impartial medical relief to the victims of war, disease, and natural or man-made disaster, without regard to race, religion, or political affiliation.

Disaster Preparedness and Relief Services

Since 1968, Anera has helped refugees and others hurt by conflicts in the Middle East live with dignity and purpose. Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. We mobilize resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Our staff serve in their communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get help where it’s needed most. That’s how Anera delivered 98.3 million in 
programs in 2020 alone, and it’s how we will keep building better lives until hope finds its way in the Middle East.

International Development, Relief Services

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is now at work in over 40 crisis-affected countries as well as communities throughout Europe and the Americas. We deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls.
