Blue Grass Community Foundation

Blue Grass Community Foundation is where people go to give to enhance the quality of life in Central and Appalachia Kentucky. We connect charitable individuals, families, businesses, communities and nonprofit organizations with causes they care about to meet community needs and make a difference. We were founded in 1967 by visionary Lexington couple Irene and C.W. Sulier, who created a permanent endowment for our community with simple aspirations: they hoped their fund would grow to support diverse community needs over time and that others with charitable intent might join them. Their dreams have been more than realized. In the past 59 years, we have grown from one charitable fund to more than 900, each with its own unique charitable purpose. Charitable assets total $330 million, half of which is permanently endowed to benefit our community, forever. Most importantly, the Community Foundation, in partnership with our generous donors, has awarded more than $226 million in grants.
