Today, the NBA announced the creation of the HALT Human Trafficking Fund. The HALT Fund will provide grants to organizations and government entities to provide education, advanced data analysis and leverage technology to combat human trafficking in Nebraska. The goal of the fund is to complement the efforts of many invaluable organizations that provide support to victims of human trafficking by helping to prevent human trafficking before it starts. The Nebraska Community Foundation will administer the fund, and an advisory board, including bankers, will select the grant recipients. Grant applications will be accepted later this fall. Human trafficking is a crisis that impacts all corners of our state, affecting urban and rural areas alike, as well as communities of all sizes. The statewide presence of the banking industry means we are uniquely positioned to bring leadership, awareness and action to help end human trafficking in our state. Learn More Gov. Jim Pillen and Attorney General Mike Hilgers joined NBA President and CEO Richard Baier at a press conference today to announce the HALT Fund.
