The Lincoln Academy’s Spirit of Lincoln Endowment Fund, managed by the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln (CFLL) located in Springfield, provides an opportunity to fund and enhance the programs of the Academy.
The goal of Phase I is to secure $1.5 million so investment income may be used to support the Student Laureate stipends and other programs of the Lincoln Academy.

The Lincoln Academy can accept credit card donations and gifts of property and stocks.
