We can award a minimum grant of $2,000 to multiple nonprofits, or up to a single maximum grant of $10,000.
Mission: Strive to Thrive Lincoln provides Nebraska Business students in the Management 411 class with the opportunity to grant funds to organizations that empower disadvantaged families in Lincoln/Lancaster County to attain sustainable, positive change, with special consideration given to those organizations that serve youth.
