Benefactors & Legacy Society

It is an honor to recognize and celebrate the generosity of our donors. Benefactors and members of our Legacy Society are leaders who love our community and inspire others through their investment in the Lincoln Community Foundation (LCF).

Lincoln Benefactors

The establishment of our generous Benefactor Society many years ago, has formed the backbone of LCF. These gifts have provided long-term stability for LCF and significant benefits to our community nonprofit organizations.

Benefactor Society recognizes current or planned estate gifts of $50,000 or more to the LCF Operating Fund, gifts of $500,000 or more to any endowed fund , and gifts of $1 million or more to any LCF fund made during a 12-month period.

A beautiful glass wall displaying our Benefactors decorates the foyer of the LCF building.

Legacy Society

Legacy Society recognizes those who have chosen to support our community with an end-of-life gift through a will or trust, or beneficiary designation via a retirement plan, investment account or insurance policy. Such gifts may be of any size. As a member of the Legacy Society, you join a distinguished group of people who share a common vision for the future of Lincoln.

Benefactors and Legacy Society members enjoy several special events throughout the year planned specifically for them, including sneak peeks of new spaces in our community, lunches and educational opportunities. The appropriate designation in all legal documents is: Lincoln Community Foundation, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation. When LCF receives an estate gift, five percent of the gift is allocated to support LCF operations.
