The Lincoln Community High School Foundation was created to enrich lifelong learning programs and provide educational opportunities for LCHS students. The foundation provides funds beyond the normal operating budget for community educational programs not available through tax revenues. The foundation is a nonprofit, independent, tax-exempt organization governed by a volunteer board of directors who are business and professional members of the community with a commitment to education.
