While both LINC and Emerging Leaders have transitioned into the broader and more inclusive LEAD United initiative, their legacies endure. Some workplaces and workplace campaigns may continue to support and recognize LINC leaders and Emerging Leaders, honoring their contributions and commitment to making a meaningful impact in the Fox Cities.
LINC (Lead. Impact. Network. Change.) was a group of energized individuals aged 30 and under who united to strengthen the Fox Cities community through their time, talent, and generous donations. Focused on fostering leadership, building connections, and driving meaningful change, LINC provided young changemakers with exclusive opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.
Emerging Leaders was a program for individuals aged 40 and under who wanted to make a lasting impact in the Fox Cities through service, philanthropy, and community engagement. With a focus on building connections among peers and fostering leadership, Emerging Leaders brought together over 1,000 members dedicated to strengthening the community through their generosity and involvement.
Between December 23, 2025, and January 2, 2026, our office will have minimal staffing. If you’d like to stop in-person, including to drop off a year-end donation, we encourage calling ahead, as someone may not always be available.
