The Platte Institute helps Nebraskans remove economic barriers with policy research and legislative advice.

We get it. The status quo has prevented you from flourishing economically. It’s like the government’s regulations have you trapped in red tape.

You’re frustrated and hopeless, and feel like your voice doesn’t even matter. You wish the government could work for Nebraskans, not against us. 

The truth is that we can create a prosperous economy for all Nebraskans. We just need to tear down the status quo and enact business-friendly policies.

That’s why The Platte Institute exists. Our economic research has prevented big-government policies. We promote policies that limit government, promote free enterprise and reward personal initiative. 

Over the last 13 years, we’ve saved billions of dollars for taxpayers and created hundreds of jobs in over 20 different career fields. 

We help Nebraskans keep more of what they earn, start new businesses, and attract a talented workforce. We reduce, reform, and remove economic barriers.

If you want more economic freedom in Nebraska, please visit PlatteInstitute.org to make a donation to help further our research.

Let’s remove economic barriers and make Nebraskans proud.
