Lincoln College graduate and Board of Trustees member Jeffrey Swallow, Ph.D., has pledged up to $100,000 in matching funds for contributions made to the College’s LINCOLN Fund by Dec. 31.

“This is a chance to double your impact as the new year approaches. We know that in December many people are looking for opportunities to make a difference in the community. This offers an opportunity to double the impact of your gift while making a year-end contribution.” said Debbie Ackerman, Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Lincoln College.
