WHAT IS THE

SPIRIT OF LINCOLN ENDOWMENT FUND

Investment in this fund allows us to expand our efforts to highlight the accomplishments of distinguished Illinoisans and to 'pay it forward' by encouraging excellence and principled civic engagement in young leaders. Our goals include: 1) connecting Student Laureates with senior members of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois who can act as mentors and encouragers; and 2) instilling in the next generation a commitment to lead "in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln" to the betterment of humanity.

The Lincoln Academy's Spirit of Lincoln Endowment Fund, managed by the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln (CFLL) located in Springfield, provides an opportunity to fund and enhance the programs of the Academy.
The goal of Phase I is to secure $1.5 million so investment income may be used to support the Student Laureate stipends and other programs of the Lincoln Academy.

The Lincoln Academy can accept credit card donations and gifts of property and stocks.
