Record Number of Nonprofits Registered for 14th Annual Give to Lincoln Day

Lincoln’s 14th annual giving day is scheduled for Thursday, May 29. Coordinated by the Lincoln Community Foundation (LCF), Give to Lincoln Day is an online event encouraging donations to support the local nonprofits and causes people care about. A record number of 502 nonprofits have registered for this year’s event. Every participating nonprofit organization will receive a proportional share of a $650,000 match fund, based upon its percentage of total dollars raised, thanks to LCF and sponsors including Presenting Sponsor, West Gate Bank. 
  
Last year’s event raised a record $8.5 million for 463 local nonprofits. The event has raised $65 million since 2012.  
  
“Last year’s record-breaking results demonstrate what we can accomplish when we come together to give for good,” said Tracy Edgerton, LCF President. “During this time of uncertainty for many local nonprofits, a gift on Give to Lincoln Day represents more than just dollars It’s a show of support for their important work that adds so much to our quality of life here in Lincoln.” 
 
Starting May 1, donors may search participating nonprofits and give online at GiveToLincoln.com. Donations must be made before 11:59 p.m. on May 29 to count toward the giving day and the match fund. The minimum donation is $10 per charity. Additionally, gifts made online at GiveToLincoln.com from May 1 through May 28 are eligible for a daily drawing to receive a $250 boost from Allo Fiber.
