As a staunch believer in the power of community support, I am deeply involved in various non-profit organizations dedicated to making our beloved Lincoln a better place for all. Here are some of the key initiatives I’m passionate about:

1. Lincoln Community Foundation: Since its establishment in 2003, the Lincoln Community Foundation has been instrumental in driving positive change within our community. Through the generosity of donors and benefactors, an endowment was created to fuel an investment fund. This fund serves as a cornerstone for providing grants to local non-profit groups, amplifying their impact in addressing pressing community needs. From supporting education and healthcare initiatives to fostering cultural enrichment programs, the Lincoln Community Foundation acts as a vital catalyst for community growth and development.

2. Lincoln 4th of July Foundation: The Lincoln 4th of July Foundation epitomizes the spirit of patriotic celebration, bringing our community together for an unforgettable day of festivities. From the crackle of fireworks to the rhythm of live music, this non-profit orchestrates a day-long event that captivates hearts and minds alike. Families flock to enjoy a plethora of activities, from interactive kids’ zones to delectable treats from local food vendors. The grand finale—a breathtaking fireworks display—lights up the night sky, symbolizing our shared pride and unity as a community.

3. Lincoln Public Safety Foundation: Ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents is paramount, and the Lincoln Public Safety Foundation is at the forefront of this mission. With a focus on bridging the gap between limited budgets and the evolving needs of our first responders, this non-profit plays a pivotal role in equipping our heroes with the tools and resources they need to serve effectively. Through strategic investments in state-of-the-art equipment, advanced training programs, and cutting-edge technology, the Lincoln Public Safety Foundation empowers our firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel to safeguard our community with utmost professionalism and dedication.

By actively participating in these non-profit initiatives, I am honored to contribute to the continued prosperity and well-being of our vibrant Lincoln community. Together, we can create a brighter, more resilient future for generations to come.
