What We Do

For over a century, Child Saving Institute (CSI) has been an unwavering force for good in Omaha. We champion what’s best for each child and family with a compassionate approach, rooted in heart and humanity. Our diverse programs and services strengthen families and communities, offering a spectrum of care across mental health, early childhood development, critical response and support services to help families. Our team is committed to finding the right path and combination of services to meet each child and every family where they are, so all families can thrive. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors. Stand with us as we build a brighter future for Omaha, one family at a time. 

READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?

We invite you to join us in making spirits bright this holiday season by becoming a Substitute Santa. Your monetary donation doesn’t just bring toys or gifts; it brings back the magic, joy and wonder all children deserve. It’s a beacon of hope, healing the wounds of today and lighting the way for brighter tomorrows. Together, we can make spirits bright!

When  you donate to Child Saving Institute on Giving Tuesday (December 3rd, 2024), your donation will be doubled thanks to our matching sponsor, Charter West Bank!
