The Lincoln Community Foundation continues to showcase its unwavering dedication to enhancing the quality of life in Lincoln, California. On April 20, 2023, the foundation took yet another momentous step by presenting Public Safety Chief Alves with a generous check for $1500 to support the startup costs of the Lincoln Public Safety Foundation.

As a proud member of both the Lincoln Public Safety Foundation and the Lincoln Community Foundation, I am thrilled to be part of this significant milestone. This new organization, a freshly minted 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is on a mission to bolster and enhance the operations of the Police and Fire Departments in the City of Lincoln, California. Their aim is to provide essential funding for items that may not always be covered by the city’s budget, ensuring our first responders have the resources they need to keep our community safe.

The Lincoln Community Foundation has played a pivotal role in nurturing the formation of this nonprofit. Kris Knutson and Jan Bedwell from the foundation, along with Renee Maldonado, are serving as interim Board members until the permanent board is identified and elected.

If you’re interested in contributing to the startup of this nonprofit, please reach out to Jan Bedwell at lcomfound@gmail.com.

This initiative is a shining example of how the Lincoln Community Foundation serves as a catalyst for community programs and nonprofits, making our community stronger and a better place to live. From identifying local needs to providing crucial support, the Lincoln Community Foundation continues to play a significant role in driving positive change.

The Lincoln Public Safety Foundation is poised to make a profound impact on our community, and the Lincoln Community Foundation couldn’t be prouder to be a part of its formation. We eagerly anticipate the positive transformations this new organization will bring to our community, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting its endeavors for the foreseeable future.
