Does the LU Foundation make grants to members of the LU community or other applicants?
The Foundation was established to encourage gifts to Lincoln and to act as a conduit for contributors to their areas of interest. Very few gifts come to the Foundation as undesignated funds. Such funds are not distributed at the discretion of the Foundation. Instead, the President of Lincoln University directs these funds to meet areas of greatest need within the University. Requests to the Foundation for undesignated funds are channeled from individuals to their department heads and/or deans. Such requests are then reviewed, prioritized, and approved by University President and/or the Provost. Requests made directly to the Foundation are redirected through proper channels. (This will be a part of recommended upgrades to policies and procedures).
