[May 18, 2013]  Integrity Data in Lincoln has awarded a total of $7,500 in grant funds to not-for-profit organizations in the area. The funds, awarded from an Integrity Data employee giving fund, were distributed on Thursday at a dessert reception honoring recipients.

"It is wonderful to work for a company who initiates giving within the community," said Lindy Belley, marketing coordinator at Integrity Data. "We hope that through this program, others will become aware of what amazing opportunities are available through not-for-profit organizations in and around Lincoln. We have been blessed as employees, as an organization, and enjoy coming together once a year to recognize such worthy causes within Logan County."

Integrity Data received a total of 16 applications from qualified, tax-exempt organizations serving the residents of Logan County. Applications were then evaluated and voted on by Integrity Data's employees.

This year's grant recipients are:

• Food for Thought, First Presbyterian Church, will provide food for children who are eligible for the government's free and reduced lunch program or those who may go hungry on weekends throughout the school year.

• Lincoln Community High School will use the funds to purchase an interactive whiteboard (Promethean board). It will be installed prior to the start of the 2013-2014 school year.
