OUR FOCUS AREAS

The Foundation typically approaches its grantmaking in two different ways: 1) funding strategic initiatives that are larger, longer-term high-impact projects and 2) responsive grants proposed by the community in Education, Health and General Welfare and Economic Development, the focus areas as described in James Graham Brown’s will. Based on his directives, we make grants intended to:

  • Advance educational attainment
  • Support community and economic development
  • Build and strengthen civic and cultural assets
  • Enhance health and well-being

Desired Outcomes

Within those focus areas, we look for opportunities to support work that improves well-being for all while fostering communities that people are proud to call home and actively engaged in building:

  • Improved Well-being of Citizens of Kentucky
  • Improved Perceptions of Kentucky
  • Civic Engagement
  • Opportunities for All
