About Ignite Lincoln
Ignite Lincoln 13 will be held Thursday, August 19, 2021. All event costs are covered by sponsors, so 100% of your donation through Ignite's website goes directly to the five nonprofit finalists with the top winner guaranteed to receive $3,000. Ignite Lincoln is a nonprofit organization that provides a platform for Lincolnites to share an idea, in five minutes and 20 presentation slides, that will spark imagination, inspire, educate and build a better community. Ignite asks the question, "If you had five minutes on stage, what would you say?" Ignite started in Seattle, Washington in 2006 and has since spread across the globe.
