Our Mission & Story

Malone is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating unity and prosperity throughout Lincoln while honoring African American heritage.

Initially founded during a time in our history when civil rights for African Americans were extremely limited, the league founders, both black and white, were determined to improve social and economic conditions and increase understanding between all races. They believed that enhanced understanding between all groups of people would create a better community.

For decades, Malone has served neighboring families, youth, seniors, and the Lincoln community with inclusive, social, cultural, educational, employment and welfare services.
