WHAT: In celebration of its thirty years of connecting people who care with causes that matter, the Community Foundation is highlighting different facets of its work over thirty days. The calendar includes events, activities and stories from donors, nonprofits, partners and beneficiaries that showcase successes that are a direct result of CFL’s leadership in philanthropy over the last 30 years. The initiative was launched on May 6 with the wildly successful ‘Give Local Louisville’ day, which raised nearly $1.9 million for 182 local nonprofits. Seven “profiles of impact” — one on each day of the week — are scheduled for May 12-18.
May 13, 4 p.m.— Home of the Innocents. CFL will present a grant to the Home of the Innocents for outdoor play equipment for medically fragile children.

Market St.
