In the summer of 2012, approximately 30 community volunteers set out on a mission to establish
the Lincoln County R-III Education Foundation for the Lincoln County R-III School District. The establishment of the 501(3)
c opens the doors of opportunity for students, teachers and even the community. The Foundation has collected more
than $175,000 in tax deductible donations, grants and fundraising efforts. In the first year, the R-III Education Foundation
awarded $32,500 in grants impacting more than 1,000 students in the R-III District. This year, the Foundation will award
nearly $80,000 in grants to enhance the educational experience for students. These grants could not have been awarded
without the help of the Foundation’s Founding Donors.
