In 1905 when our founders secured the rights to the Lincoln family name from Robert Todd Lincoln, they knew that the company would have to live up to the legacy of honesty, integrity and respect that defined our 16th president. That sense of responsibility shaped not only our business practices but our commitment to the community as well.
Since its founding, Lincoln Financial Group has recognized that good corporate citizenship is intrinsic to our success. The company's spirit of philanthropy led to the establishment of the Lincoln Financial Foundation in 1962 and inspired a rich tradition of giving over the past 40 years.
Today the company sets aside up to 2% of its pre-tax earnings to support charitable contributions in the communities where we maintain a strong business presence. In 2006, the Lincoln Financial family of companies donated more than $12 million to a wide variety of philanthropic endeavors throughout the United States and the United Kingdom.
Lincoln Financial Foundation is proud to be a member of our area grant-making umbrella organizations. We encourage you to visit their sites for additional information about the funding community in these cities:
