Lincoln Forever
A great city is defined by a relentless desire and energy to become a better place to live.
The noble goal of the Lincoln Community Foundation can most easily be captured in the two simple words that grace the cover of this brochure: LINCOLN FOREVER. While stated in many ways since our founding in 1955, these words convey the fondness that those who have made gifts to and through the Foundation have always held for this community and its successful future.
Contributors have a deep understanding and respect for the role of private philanthropy as a vital component in the democratic free enterprise system. Briefly summarized, gifts to the Foundation commonly accomplish one or more of the following goals for a donor:
Support future needs and opportunities within the Lincoln community
Benefit one or more specific charities
Support a specific area of interest such as the arts and culture, children and youth, basic needs, family issues, environmental enhancement, human diversity, older adults, and capital improvements
Establish a scholarship
There are so many ways for you to work with the Lincoln Community Foundation to enrich the lives of the citizens of our city. We enthusiastically invite you to learn more.
