Hi, neighbor.

Collective Impact Lincoln creates resident-led investment and positive change in the city’s core neighborhoods. Through canvassing, community events, and Community Builder Workshops, we help neighbors examine their communities’ strengths and identify new ways to improve.
Collective Impact Lincoln is a partnership among Civic Nebraska, Nebraska Appleseed and the South of Downtown Community Development Organization. We focus on Belmont, Clinton, Everett, Hartley, Near South, and University Place neighborhoods.
