At a time when resources are scarce for many small organizations, sharing just makes sense! The Foundry expanding and wants to welcome new purpose-driven nonprofits, businesses, and public sector organizations into its newly renovated space to be completed by January 1, 2027.

What started as neighbor organizations sharing the Foundry’s coworking space grew into an international fellowship opportunity, proof that community grows beyond the walls of any single office at the Foundry!

The Foundry loves to exchange stories of community impact and hear from other nonprofit organizations about their amazing work. What better way to do this than take the camaraderie outside of the office!

Abendmusik, a Lincoln-based performing arts nonprofit, created a data-driven audience outreach strategy and the launch of Abendmusik Forever, a planned giving program, through its partnership with Base Camp Foundry, resources dedicated to helping nonprofits find their path and tell their story.

Foundry Members OutNebraska and Star City Pride recently came together this past weekend to host a community sports event that was about far more than the games being played. All Out Sports Day was a fun gathering but also a demonstration of what's possible when organizations show up for Nebraska's LGBTQ+ community together.

Ignite Lincoln 17 was more than just a few speakers on a stage, it put local nonprofits and leaders in conversation with each other. The result was a single room where Lincoln's full range of voices were not just present, but genuinely heard, all while supporting the community’s mission-driven work. Little did we know our impact would reach the classroom. 

The Foundry exists for moments like this, mission-driven nonprofits, powerful literary education, and a gallery of original art for the Lincoln community to enjoy. This month, that vision came to life when Foundry Member Linked2Literacy hosted its First Friday event at The Foundry, drawing inspiration from Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street.
