Blue Grass Community Foundation could be eligible for a 20% state tax credit!
The Lexington Black Prosperity Initiative, a community-advised committee of Blue Grass Community Foundation, will soon announce the 2023 Grassroots Black Leadership Award honorees. With this award, the Lexington Black Prosperity Initiative celebrates and invests in three Black grassroots leaders who are on the frontlines leading vital work to affect positive change in Lexington. This award provides an unrestricted stipend of $5,000 in recognition of their efforts.
Earlier this year, the Lexington Black Prosperity Initiative invited nominations for those individuals who invest their time, creativity, expertise and, on many occasions, their personal finances, to create stronger Black communities in our city. Nominees must live in and/or lead programs that benefit Black communities in Lexington. Their work should address racial justice, racial equity gaps and/or contribute to prosperity in the Lexington Black community.
