Thank you! You are truly making a difference to better our community with your donation. It will be directed to the Lincoln County Legacy Fund, which supports the great work and projects of local nonprofit organizations with annual grants. We charge no administration fees to this Fund. The Community Foundation of Lincoln County (CFLC) is all about giving back to this area that we love. With your help we are building The Legacy Fund that will forever support local nonprofit groups with annual grants. These days, grants are paid from the Operating Account and are limited. The Legacy Fund balance is now over $750,000. When this Fund reaches its $1,000,000 goal, the CFLC will make grant awards from the earnings. Our 10-year average portfolio return is currently 7.846%. On that basis we would have had the potential to give $78,000 last year. What an impact! The Legacy Fund endowment will be able to strongly support the important activities of Lincoln County nonprofit groups in perpetuity, continually improving the quality of life here. We send you sincere thanks! All gifts matter as does the united belief in the Legacy Fund mission. Gifts like yours speed us to our goal much faster. For this we are most appreciative.  Your gift is fully tax deductible to the extent of the law.No goods or services were received in exchange for your donations.
