Nearly 20 campus-based nonprofit organizations are featured in the Lincoln Community Foundation’s 10th Give to Lincoln Day fundraiser on May 25.
Give to Lincoln Day is an online event encouraging donations to support local nonprofits and causes. A record 455 local charities have registered for the 2021 event. Each participating nonprofit organization will receive a proportional share of the $500,000 match fund, based on its percentage of total dollars raised.
The event gives participating nonprofits an opportunity to fill the void from canceled fundraisers and increased demands during the past year. The 2020 event raised nearly $7 million for 448 local nonprofits. Give to Lincoln Day has raised more than $33 million for local nonprofits in its nine-year history.
