Lincoln Foundation’s signature college readiness programs serve the need of academically talented, socioeconomically disadvantaged students in grades eight through the freshman year of college.
At Lincoln Foundation, we believe in the power of education to transform lives. Every day, our results-driven programs open doors of opportunity for our scholars striving to achieve their full potential. But we can’t do it alone – we need your support.
Your donations directly fuel our educational mission, helping us expand and strengthen the educational experiences we provide. Together, we can create lasting change – one scholar at a time.

DAFs are managed by sponsoring organizations such as community foundations, Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and others. This flexible giving option allows you to make a lasting impact while aligning with your financial and philanthropic goals.
