Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture seeks donations during 'Give To Lincoln Day'

The Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation will participate in a 24-hour fundraiser on Thursday, May 28 to help support its programs and efforts that build awareness and understanding of agriculture through education and leadership development.

Some of the programs dollars raised will support include:

• Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom: A program that connects teachers with trusted resources to teach students about agriculture, connecting students to their source of food, fiber and fuel;

• Ag Promotion and Education programs: Inspiring people to tell the story of agriculture across the state of Nebraska to increase consumer knowledge and to dispel any misconceptions about every aspect of agriculture;

• Scholarships and Loans: Providing funds for students to pursue higher education.

Gifts can be made online at http://www.givetolincoln.razoo.com/story/Nebraska-Farm-Bureau-Foundation-For-Agriculture, or search Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture at http://www.GiveToLincoln.com.

Besides the donations, the Lincoln Community Foundation and their sponsors will contribute a match fund of $300,000 for Give To Lincoln Day. Every nonprofit organization will receive a proportional share of this fund, based upon their percentage of the total dollars raised on Thursday.
