Legacy Foundation of Kentuckiana

Every community. Healthier.

About the Foundation

We are a grantmaking organization dedicated to the physical, emotional and spiritual health of the communities we serve. The Foundation supports programs and services in six counties: Jefferson, Shelby, Bullitt, Hardin and Nelson in Kentucky, and Clark in Indiana. We seek to partner with organizations who will improve the health of people in these communities, especially those most vulnerable.

Our history is embedded in the former Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s Foundation in Louisville, Kentucky. While the Legacy Foundation of Kentuckiana will grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our communities, we honor the generous donors and charitable vision of that original organization.

Mission and Vision
