Brightpoint Receives Lincoln Financial Foundation Grant

Fort Wayne, IN – Brightpoint has received a $35,000 grant from the Lincoln Financial Foundation to support our Family Support and Family Development programs.

Family Support includes child care assistance and energy assistance – two programs which allow families on limited incomes to afford their basic needs. Family Development is a voluntary, in-home program of supportive services that helps identify a family’s strengths, desires, and needs in order to accomplish specific goals.

Lincoln Financial Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Lincoln Financial Group, believes in empowering people to live greater lives, which advances culture and empowers greater positive change. Its grant is part of Lincoln Financial’s annual $10 million investment in its local communities’ youth education, economic and workforce development, human well-being and arts programs.
