Community Engagement
We know big ideas can spring from small conversations and people invest in what they help create. When we come together to listen to and learn from each other, we have the power to impact both communities and lives. That’s why we’re passionate about community engagement.
Lisa Adkins, CEO
“My promise to the community is this: Blue Grass Community Foundation will continue to listen. We will work to provide leadership, create partnerships and engage everyone who wants to help.”

The Do Good Radio Hour
We host the Do Good Radio Hour on RADIOLEX to highlight the work of the foundation and of our local nonprofits.
No Quick Fixes
The issues we face today don’t often offer quick fixes. On the contrary, progress will only result when residents, organizations, businesses and government work together to make contributions that add up to a greater solution than we can achieve on our own. We’re proud to support local community members who come together to impact their communities for good. Contact us to start a discussion about these efforts and others!
