Grants

Our grants touch the lives of thousands of people each year

Central Kentucky Community Foundation strengthens our community through grants to nonprofits for causes important to donors and the future enhancement of our community. In 2023, CKCF awarded $1.86 million in grants.

Grants are made through various channels including donor designation and collaborative projects. A small portion of these grants was made through various competitive grant opportunities linked below. You can contact us at info@ckcf4people.org or 270-737-8393 to find out more about eligibility and our grant-making process.
