The Lincoln Community Foundation is a driving force working to improve our community’s future. Making grants to support charitable endeavours and assisting donors in making philanthropic contributions to local nonprofit organisations are only two aspects of improving our city. More than 90 scholarship funds benefiting students in Nebraska have been established by kind donors to the Lincoln Community Foundation.
