Lincoln Dynamic Foundation

Last week, the Lincoln Dynamic Foundation proudly hosted its inaugural Veterans Roundtable, gathering veterans, city and state officials, and local nonprofit leaders to discuss the critical needs of our community’s veterans. This impactful event was made possible through the dedication of Kat Klehm, who united these remarkable individuals and organizations for a day of collaboration and insight-sharing. We were honored to have Colonel Mary Devine from the Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS) as a key speaker. Her expertise and dedication brought valuable insights that enriched our discussions and guided our collaborative approach to creating meaningful solutions. The event highlighted the importance of coordinated efforts to bridge service gaps, increase access to resources, and uplift veterans and their families. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this important day, including our co-hosts Sonny Vinuya (MHA), Lynda Tache, CFRE, CLC, and Scott Hammond whose leadership helped make the event possible. Together, we’re building a stronger, more supportive community for those who have served. Thank you to all who participated in this powerful first step.

We had an incredible time participating in AFP's Mission Pitch Contest! 🎤✨ Being selected alongside 9 amazing organizations was an honor, and we’re so grateful for the chance to share our mission with such a passionate community. 💚 It was inspiring to hear each pitch and learn about the impactful work happening all around us.  #LincolnDynamicFoundation #AFP2024 #MissionPitch2.0 #EmpoweringChange
