Winsday: Great Thrills for the Greater Good

In partnership with Churchill Downs, 'Winsday' presented by Resolute Racing, is back for 2026! This unique Kentucky Derby Week event shines a spotlight on local nonprofits and their incredible missions. By purchasing box seat tickets through one or more of the 50 participating nonprofits, guests enjoy a day at the races during Derby Week and contribute directly to local causes.

Since 1984, the Community Foundation of Louisville has mobilized people, networks, and capital to spark meaningful change in and beyond Louisville.

With over $874 million 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 advance racial equity, steward philanthropic assets, increase capital to community resources, and unleash real and sustainable progress within the region.
