Mission: Inspiring our community to give, act, and lead.

Vision:  Lincoln is a community where everyone is thriving, working together, to build a better tomorrow.

The Lincoln Community Foundation is a catalyzing force that seeks to create a better future for our community. Improving our city goes beyond making grants that advance charitable activities and helping donors make charitable gifts to support local nonprofit organizations.

We serve in a leadership role and focus significant support to address identified community needs and opportunities by inclusively uniting people, institutions and resources in an effort to lead positive change. We convene diverse voices from government, business, nonprofit organizations and citizens to craft responses and solutions.
