It’s never been hard to see what a wonderfully generous place Lincoln is. We have an amazingly varied and vibrant non-profit scene, and we’re so fortunate that our community is so invested in working toward the best possible quality of life for all our fellow residents.

Give to Lincoln Day has become the clearest representation of this generosity. On one day, thousands of residents donate to the charities and nonprofits to compete for matching funds from the Lincoln Community Foundation. Last year, nearly $8 million dollars was raised, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching funds were distributed. To put it mildly, this day has become a very big deal for Lincoln!

This year’s Give to Lincoln Day is scheduled for May 26th, and we hope that you’ll include a donation to Junior Achievement of Lincoln! Your gifts, both large and small, will give Lincoln's young people the skills to make financial decisions, be career-ready and have an entrepreneurial spirit. Thank you in advance for your generous support that will help prepare more than 25,000 Lincoln students, public and parochial, for real life - in the real world. givetolincoln.com/nonprofits/junior-achievement

And here’s more good news-- you don’t have to wait until Give to Lincoln Day to make your donation! When you give any time between now and May 26, your donation will help JA of Lincoln earn a portion of the matching funds.
