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 between Civic Nebraska and Nebraska Appleseed. We focus on Belmont, Clinton, Everett, Hartley, Near South, and University Place neighborhoods.
