Lincoln Community Foundation Grants Over $1M to 160 Nonprofits

Thanks to the contributions of generous donors, the Lincoln Community Foundation (LCF, lcf.org) made grants in November of nearly $1.1 million for 160 nonprofit organizations, 88 of which are local. These grants came from designated funds created by donors to support their favorite nonprofits and houses of worship. These endowed funds provide annual financial support to the organizations specified by the donors, helping the community and the nonprofits grow and thrive further.

Established in 1955, the Lincoln Community Foundation strives to continually enrich the Lincoln community by promoting and achieving perpetual philanthropic support. Their role is to help donors accomplish their philanthropic goals, support nonprofit organizations that improve Lincoln’s quality of life, and foster community collaboration to address challenges and opportunities. The foundation has so far distributed more than $160 million in grants to nonprofit organizations that have improved the lives of thousands of residents. LCF is accredited by the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations®, which represents LCF’s commitment to go above and beyond federal and state law requirements to demonstrate accountability and excellence to communities, policymakers, and the public.
