Louisville Health Equity Fund

In October 2016, Louisville/Jefferson County was awarded the Culture of Health prize for the collaborative efforts between sectors that advance health equity. Along with national recognition, Louisville received $25,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Because of the generous donations by Community Foundation of Louisville, The Humana Foundation, Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence, and Metro United Way, the initial prize money was leveraged to start the Louisville Health Equity Fund (HEF).
