Lincoln Hills Foundation - 2026 Grants Strengthen Senior Support Programs

A Community‑Centered Approach
Grant decisions were guided by direct input from seniors, caregivers, and service providers. Each funded program was selected for its ability to meet the evolving needs of our community and to support the whole person—not just basic necessities.
Looking Ahead
As these organizations begin implementing their 2026 initiatives, the community anticipates meaningful improvements in nutrition, senior health, and social connection. The Foundation will track program outcomes throughout the year and release a public report in early 2027.
This year’s awards reaffirm a simple truth: when seniors thrive, the entire community grows stronger.
