Give to Lincoln Day Breaks Records – Raises $9.5 Million for Local Nonprofits

The 14th annual Give to Lincoln Day on May 29 raised $9.5 million for 502 local nonprofits – the highest amount raised in the event’s history and nearly $1M more than the year prior. 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. The funds are designated to help support charitable organizations that serve Lincoln and Lancaster County. 

“Year after year, Give to Lincoln Day represents what makes this community special,” said Tracy Edgerton, LCF President. “Once again, Lincoln has stepped up to break records and uplift the important work of local nonprofits. This incredible display of generosity will open doors for a brighter future.”

All participating nonprofits will receive a proportional share of a $650,000 match fund based upon the organization’s percentage of the total dollars raised, provided by LCF and sponsors including Presenting Sponsor, West Gate Bank.

More than 27,000 donations were received for the 14th annual Give to Lincoln Day. The event has raised more than $75 million for local nonprofits in its 13-year history.
