Sowing Seeds
of Success

 

In our vibrant community, generosity blossoms through uplifting acts like coming together for Give to Lincoln Day or a legacy gift made at the end of a celebrated life.

The 2022 annual report exemplifies the belief that when
philanthropy is nurtured with purposeful action, our impact flourishes – sprouting into opportunities and shared abundance for all.

On behalf of the board of directors and our staff, thank you for helping Lincoln grow.
