It's time for Give to Lincoln Day! Give to Lincoln Day, coordinated by Lincoln Community Foundation, is a time when everyone in Lincoln is asked to make a donation toward the organizations that are critical to the care, support and spirit of our great city. Every donation between May 1 and May 29 makes a bigger impact because participating nonprofits also receive a proportional share of a $650,000 match fund made possible by LCF and generous sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor, West Gate Bank. Use the above button to donate.
If you enjoyed a Paul A. Olson lecture, an art exhibition, the Great Plains conference, a First Friday event, the Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence, or another activity this year, then please consider making a financial contribution to help us continue our programming. The Center for Great Plains Studies and the Great Plains Art Museum rely on outside support to do some of our most popular and engaging activities. Your contribution will help us continue and do more of the programming you enjoy.
