Community Leadership:
Connecting to Community Needs

Connection—to a person, a cause, an organization, a set of values—is a powerful catalyst for change and is the heart of philanthropy. At the Community Foundation we engage in community and civic leadership work for that reason, connecting to emerging issues and opportunities to help transform our community. Our leadership activities are supported by the Fund for Louisville, a permanent source of philanthropic capital to help strengthen and enrich our community.
