About this Conversation
As America marks 250 years, the American Conversation Project is bringing people together across the country to share their experiences, listen with curiosity, and strengthen connections within their communities. The Lexington Black Prosperity Initiative and Blue Grass Community Foundation’s Nonprofit Engagement and Community Initiatives team invite nonprofit leaders, community partners, and residents to join a thoughtful conversation about our community, the experiences that shape us, and our hopes for Lexington’s future. This gathering is designed to create space for honest reflection and meaningful connection. No special preparation or expertise is needed. Simply come ready to share, listen, and learn from one another. Light lunch provided.
About 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.
