Leadership Investment Gives You Wings to Fly!
It all starts with a dollar. Your financial support in the Leadership Louisville Center
makes individuals, organizations, and our community SOAR! Follow our flight path
to see how every dollar invested in leadership extends far beyond its original value.
What began in 1979 is well beyond what our founders hoped it would be.
The learning and networks developed have enabled thousands to effectively
impact themselves, our community, and the world. They are leaders.
Let's follow their journey.
Grow one leader and
their impact multiplies

As a nonprofit leader, scholarship
dollars were critical to my program
experiences, and each dollar
has been multiplied.
In Louisville,
1+1=3, and Leadership Louisville Center
opportunities have greatly benefited me
and Family Scholar House. A great
number of classmates are donors, com
-
mittee members, and active volunteers.
The partnership and financial support
for our families of single parents seeking
higher education is
significant.

Beyond a course, event or even an
experience, Leadership Louisville created
an ongoing momentum that has enhanced
my sense of connection in our city,
changed the way I approach my role as a
business owner, and raised awareness of
my responsibility
in Louisville.

WaterStep
We are saving lives around the world with safe water, supported by
connections I made with 30+ board members, volunteers, and contributors
through the Center's programs.
Leadership Louisville was one of my tools
that launched WaterStep to a new level of respect and recognition as a valuable asset
in the world of water, innovation and compassion.
What began as connections at the Leadership Louisville opening retreat in August
2004 has now blossomed into $10 million in annual economic impact
and hundreds of jobs, not to mention a better bond between people
and the planet.

Brown-Forman
has been a long-time supporter of the Center, particularly the Ignite
Louisville program. We believe it is an excellent way to develop important skills for our
up-and-coming leaders who live and work here in Kentucky. The program teaches
participants how to influence without authority, leverage diversity, diagnose issues,
and lead change. Brown-Forman employees who participate in Ignite Louisville bring
these leadership skills back to their day
jobs and can apply their learning to the roles
they have today and will have in the future.
