The Lincoln Community Foundation has been re-accredited with the nation's highest standard for philanthropic excellence.

The National Standards for US Community Foundations program requires community foundations to document their policies for donor services, investments, grantmaking and administration.

With more than 500 community foundations already accredited nationwide, the program is designed to provide quality assurance to donors, as well as to their legal and financial advisers.

"When donors make a charitable bequest or establish a fund, they are putting their trust in us," said Alec Gorynski, president of Lincoln Community Foundation. "The accreditation says our house is in order."

The foundation, established in 1955, strives to continually enrich the Lincoln community by promoting and achieving perpetual philanthropic support.

It has distributed more than $195 million in grants to nonprofit organizations that have improved the lives of thousands of residents.
