Thanks to the foresight of many generous donors, Lincoln Community Foundation made grants in August of $1,838,100 for 223 nonprofit organizations. These grants came from endowed funds created by individual donors to support their favorite nonprofits and houses of worship. Endowed funds provide annual financial support to the organizations specified by the donors, helping both the community and the nonprofits grow and thrive.
“It is a great honor to serve as a connector between donors and the charities they wish to support forever,” said President Tracy Edgerton. “These gifts will continue to grow through the power of endowment and sage financial management and investment by our team.”
Through partnerships and collaboration, Lincoln Community Foundation facilitates positive change for the common good. Since 1955, the Foundation has been privileged to be part of many wonderful legacies by connecting donor generosity to local needs. The Foundation has distributed more than $255 million in grants to nonprofit organizations that improve the lives of Lincoln’s residents. Lincoln Community Foundation is accredited by the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations®. Learn more at www.LCF.org.
