Year-End Giving
Happy Giving Season!
Everyone has the potential to spark change in their community, but together, we can do even more good. As we near the end of 2024, here is how you can make a meaningful impact with your charitable giving this holiday season.
Participate in Invest Louisville
Invest Louisville presents a unique opportunity to invest charitable assets for both social and economic benefits. By offering a diversified portfolio of loans, debt guarantees, lines of credit, and equity investments, the initiative aims to direct capital into areas of Louisville that have faced disinvestment, focusing on affordable housing, entrepreneurship, and land ownership and development.
This program provides local leaders and organizations access to impactful investments that yield financial returns and significant community benefits. If you are interested in helping Louisville grow to realize its full potential, then join us in this important endeavor.

Support Our Work
Together with donors and local partners, the Community Foundation of Louisville has invested $1 billion back into the community over the past 40 years.
This holiday season, we invite you to support the work of the Community Foundation of Louisville as we move more resources into the community, prioritize racial equity, and grow our capacity to continue serving as a trusted philanthropic leader and advocate.
The Community Leadership Fund supports our day-to-day operations, and the Fund for Louisville and its three action areas—Louisville’s People, Louisville’s Prosperity, and Louisville’s Well-Being—address Louisville’s most pressing needs.
