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.

Winsday - Great Thrills for the Greater Good

Winsday, a new race day during Derby week, emerges as a beacon of community spirit and philanthropy. An exciting partnership with Churchill Downs, Winsday is a day devoted to uplifting local nonprofit organizations and spotlighting the crucial work nonprofit organizations perform in our community during a global event.
