Community Foundation of Louisville

Community is the root of our name and the source of all we do. Founded in 1984, the Community Foundation of Louisville has nearly $800 million in assets and more than 2,200 charitable funds. Each charitable fund is unique and defined exclusively by our community investors. In addition, key priorities of the Foundation's mission are to advance racial equity and open opportunity for all. 

Last year, in partnership with our donors, the Community Foundation distributed nearly 10,000 grants totaling more than $79 million, approximately 74% of which stayed in Kentucky and Southern Indiana to support local nonprofits where we work and live. 

Working with neighbors, changemakers, and community investors, we’re inspiring greater generosity to move us all forward. Learn more about who we are and what we do at cflouisville.org.
