LCF Announces Record Number of Nonprofits Registered for Give to Lincoln Day

Coordinated by the Lincoln Community Foundation (LCF, www.lcf.org), the 11th annual Give to Lincoln Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 26. Give to Lincoln Day is an online event encouraging donations to support the local nonprofits and causes people care about. A record total of more than 475 local charities have registered for this year’s event. Every participating nonprofit organization will receive a proportional share of the $500,000 match fund, based upon its percentage of total dollars raised, thanks to many generous sponsors including presenting sponsor West Gate Bank.

Donors may search nonprofits and give online at GiveToLincoln.com. Online giving begins on May 1, and all donations must be made before 11:59 p.m. on May 26 to count toward the giving day and the match fund. The minimum donation is $10 per charity.

Gifts may also be mailed to the Foundation if postmarked by May 18. LCF’s mailing address is: 215 Centennial Mall South, Lincoln, NE, 68508. Donors may also drop off donations between May 1 and May 26 at all Lincoln West Gate Bank branches via the lobby or the commercial drop drawers.
