Impact100 Louisville awards grants to nonprofits in our community in the focus areas of Arts & Culture, Education, Family, Health & Wellness, and Environment. Applicants may apply for grant funding of at least $100,000 in a focus area that supports their mission, programs, or services. Applying for a grant starts with a Letter of Inquiry. We recommend reading our eligibility criteria before proceeding.
All stages of the grant review process are conducted entirely by current members of Impact100 Louisville.
We seek projects and programs that will have a positive, long-lasting impact on our community. Successful applicants will have well-defined proposals with measurable goals.
Nonprofit organizations will receive grants in increments of at least $100,000 across five broad focus areas:
Arts & Culture
Projects and programs that cultivate, develop, educate and improve visual and performing arts and cultural institutions.
Education
Projects and programs that improve the educational process and provide learning opportunities for children or adults, including those that address lingering educational disparities in our community.
Family
Projects and programs that strengthen and improve the lives of children, families and seniors.
Health & Wellness
Projects and programs that improve physical and/or mental health and wellness and encourage research.
Environment
Projects and programs that promote, improve, or restore the surroundings and promote conservation of our natural resources.
Each Focus Area Committee ultimately selects a single finalist to compete for the $100,000 grant at our Annual Meeting.
