Impact In Action
The Power of Partnerships
In 2022, the Brown‑Forman Foundation made the largest investment in its history—a 10‑year, $50 million commitment to five organizations: AMPED, Louisville Central Community Center, Louisville Urban League, Simmons College of Kentucky, and West End School.
Together, these partners are expanding educational opportunity from early childhood through adult learning, supporting students at every stage of their educational journey.
