Director's Take

Friends of Downtown

07-12-2024

We launched a grassroots fundraising promotion in mid-2022 to raise awareness about what our organization does, to help fund some more cool things, and because… well, I want you to be a friend of the most unique and important neighborhood in Louisville!

The basis of this giving channel is the economic significance of Downtown and why it’s such a critical area that supports the rest of the community. We must be constantly iterating, designing, and beautifying the public spaces that we all use and that we can activate with food, music, art, and fun!

I have heard from hundreds of you who love Downtown and recognize this important neighborhood and love it for varying reasons – charming historic architecture, ease of getting around, fun things to do, pretty spaces – and we want you to feel engaged and empowered to help make Downtown the best it can be!

At Louisville Downtown Partnership, we simply don’t have the funds to do all the things we want to do – more love and attention, more color, more lighting – and we would so appreciate your (tax deductible) help.

The beautiful thing about this campaign is that you can give anything from $5 to $5,000. No amount is too small, every cent adds up to something else we can provide for a fun and meaningful experience in Downtown.

Join us and become a Friend of Downtown!
