We believe education is the key to social and economic mobility and is one of the most valuable investments we can make in the future of Kentucky. It is important to support high quality programs and institutions that provide equitable educational opportunities where possible. It is important to ensure that education and training programs connect students and the workforce to career pathways that meet the workplace needs of employers.
We want to help Louisville and Kentucky flourish through equitable, innovative and collaborative approaches that cultivate strong, sustainable communities, develop a robust economy and improve the perception of Kentucky.
When deciding where to plant roots, people want to join an inviting and compassionate community that has boundless civic pride. We support work that positions Louisville and Kentucky as a livable community where people want to work, play, learn and lead.
