We are a financial institution with a social mission.
At our core, the Community Foundation of Louisville is a financial institution that provides trustworthy and personalized service to help donors achieve their charitable goals.
We mobilize capital to address our community’s inequities – especially racial ones – by serving as a connector, convener, funder, and data analyst, developing innovative solutions that move us all forward.
Since 1984, the Community Foundation of Louisville has mobilized people, networks, and capital to spark meaningful change in and beyond Louisville.
With nearly $1 billion in assets, over 2,200 charitable funds, and collaborations with hundreds of local partners, we connect real investments with relevant causes. The key priorities of the Foundation's mission are to steward philanthropic assets, remove barriers to accessing capital and resources, and unleash real and sustainable progress within the region.
