The Lincoln Community Foundation is partnering with the Aspen Institute's Weave: The Social Fabric Project to recognize 20 individuals and groups in Lincoln who are building trust, belonging and connection. The Weaver Awards are part of a constellation of activities designed to celebrate and support weavers - everyday neighbors who are building relationships, strengthening belonging, and weaving trust into the social fabric of their communities.

There’s little doubt that we live in a divided society. We see it in our national politics and feel it in the digital walls we build around ourselves. But here in Lincoln, we have a unique opportunity to push back against the tide of isolation. We can move beyond merely living alongside one another and start intentionally weaving our lives together, build a stronger community and have a positive impact on the future of our country.

“Daniel and Susan are passionate about strengthening our community through philanthropy,” said Tracy Edgerton, LCF president. “By expanding and tapping into the expertise of our team, we can continue to help donors connect their generosity to local needs and opportunities.”
