Community is about more than where you come from. It’s about how you show up for the people who call it home.

We are incredibly grateful to Jack Harlow and The Jack Harlow Foundation for their generous support of The LEE Initiative and for the way they continue to invest in Louisville and the organizations working to make our community stronger.

Through The Jack Harlow Foundation, Jack has created a platform dedicated to uplifting Louisville-based organizations and supporting the people doing meaningful work across the city — with a focus on creating opportunity, strengthening communities, and helping ensure more Louisvillians have the resources they need to thrive.

Jack has never forgotten where he comes from. Again and again, he has chosen to use his platform and success to give back to the city that helped shape him — and that kind of commitment to community means a great deal to us.

At The LEE Initiative, support like this allows us to continue investing in people, creating opportunities, and finding meaningful ways to strengthen the hospitality community we love.

Jack and The Jack Harlow Foundation, thank you for believing in our work, for believing in Louisville, and most importantly, for continuing to show up for your community.

We are deeply grateful to have your support. ❤️

Mark your calendar for Thursday, September 10, when Give for Good Louisville brings people across Kentucky and Southern Indiana together to support the nonprofits making a difference in our communities.

This year we’re raising funds for Skill Kitchen, our free youth culinary education program, and we hope you’ll help us reach our goal! Your donation ensures that we can continue to provide hands-on cooking instruction and food education to kids across Louisville.

There’s also a chance for your gift to go even further. Give for Good Louisville offers cash prizes throughout the day, supported by community partners, which means your donation could help unlock additional funding for our work.

We’ll have more to share as September 10 gets closer. For now, save the date and join us in giving back to our community!
