Grant Opportunities
Through our grantmaking initiatives and funding opportunities, we’re investing in local nonprofits, organizations, and community members to do more, dream bigger, and spark meaningful and measurable progress in and beyond Louisville.
Artemis Fund
The Artemis Fund started in 2002 with a $10,000 grant from Kentucky Country Day School (KCD) parent Judith Miller through the Miller Family Foundation. Since then, the KCD philanthropy class has built a charitable trust of more than $260,000 and has dispersed over $150,000 in grants to local community organizations. The Artemis Fund awards grants to local organizations that support youth development in the community. The grant eligibility application is open now through February 27, 2026.
