Give to Lincoln Day – 2026

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS · LINCOLN & LANCASTER COUNTY

GIVE TO LINCOLN DAY

THURSDAY, MAY 28, 2026

Your gift strengthens League of
Women Voters of Lincoln and Lancaster County, allowing us to help make
Lincoln a more just, informed and engaged community. This annual giving
campaign amplifies every dollar you give.

League of Women Voters’ scope of
work in the coming year depends on people who believe in us — and this one
day amplifies every dollar you give, thanks to a $650,000 challenge match that stretches every donation further.
