Lincoln Community Foundation Announces Largest Match Ever for Give to Lincoln Day

Lincoln’s annual giving day is scheduled for Thursday, May 30. Organized by the Lincoln Community Foundation, Give to Lincoln Day (www.GiveToLincoln.com) is a 24-hour online event encouraging donations to support the local non-profits and causes people care about.

Every participating non-profit organization will receive a proportional share of the record $450,000 match fund, based upon its percentage of total dollars raised. Give to Lincoln Day 2019 will have the largest match fund in the event’s eight year history thanks to a generous gift from West Gate Bank and several other supporting sponsors.

Last year, Give to Lincoln Day raised a record $4,613,412 for 404 local non-profits. Give to Lincoln Day aims to promote philanthropy in the city. By helping non-profits raise funds, the day-long event helps them carry out their important work and supplements budgets, which are challenged to meet current demands. It also allows non-profits to tell their stories and attract new donors.

The Foundation encourages all Lincoln and Lancaster County residents to make a charitable donation to local non-profits during this 24-hour day of giving. Gifts can be made online starting May 1 at www.GiveToLincoln.com.
