A legacy of giving back Iowans have generous hearts. We're part of that tradition.
For more than 100 years, Lincoln Savings Bank has given back to local communities in many ways - and as often as possible. From the foundation’s inception in 2005 through today, we have contributed millions to various establishments, individuals, and community endeavors. In 2008, in the wake of severe floods and a devastating tornado, we raised money for disaster relief. Our efforts have grown over the years, and these days the LSB Foundation donates thousands of dollars annually to charities, community groups and other 501c(3) organizations.
