The best job in the world

By Rhonda Page 

I have the best job. 

For the past 14 years at the Lincoln Community Foundation, I’ve been fortunate to hear the stories of our neighbors and how they are compelled to help those around them. These generous folks often employ their giving spirit through our local nonprofits that provide support and service for so many, and often these organizations partner with LCF throughout the year.  

Why do I have the best job? Because I get to work with these individuals every day and help them make grants to amazing nonprofits, both local and nationwide. I experience their joy when they support the causes that are meaningful to them. Every gift makes a difference, and every donor has a story behind their generosity. 

Many Lincolnites want to make the world a better place by creating a gift for the future. When a donor describes what they want to accomplish through their legacy gift, I witness the sense of peace and satisfaction they experience. What an extraordinary experience of purpose and joy, knowing they are lifting up folks they may not know. It makes me want to open a bottle of champagne and toast the moment! 

Each decision to give is my reason to honor these donors and demonstrate our appreciation for their generosity. I see you, I am grateful for you, and I am available to answer questions and help you accomplish your charitable goals.  

My role is Donor Relations, and that is why I have the best job. Thank you for all you do to support the organizations and causes that do so much in Lincoln and beyond. Please reach out soon – I can’t wait to connect!
