How does the Challenge work? A generous group of parents and alumnae have banded together to offer the community a Challenge: if 500 friends of Lincoln band together to make gifts of any size during Daisy's Big Day, our Challengers will contribute $100,000 to Lincoln! There are also several targeted challenges for school Divisions, alumna decades, and more to inspire you and increase your impact!

What is the Lincoln Fund? The Lincoln Fund is Lincoln School's annual fund, a crucial part of Lincoln's health and strength. Every year, contributors to the Lincoln Fund provide critical funds supporting Lincoln’s educational program. Generous Lincoln Fund donors - alumnae, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and other friends of the school - ensure that a Lincoln education remains accessible to our entire student body. Your gift on Daisy's Big Day will help the school to reach its Lincoln Fund goal this year.
