Lincoln’s Foundation for Educational Services recently announced a new branch to the FES family alongside NSLP/Inceptia and the EducationQuest Foundation. 

Filament Essential Services is poised to provide a foundation of essential services that strengthens the nonprofit community and enables them to stay focused on fulfilling their mission, including website and app support, branding and video, data security, tech support, and payroll management.
