LexGive365 Grants

The BGCF365 Grants, initiated by the Blue Grass Community Foundation, empower emerging philanthropists to collectively fund nonprofit projects that dismantle barriers to employment, transportation, and housing for families in Fayette County. In 2024, grants will focus on enhancing resilience among youth aged 0-22. Members contribute $365 annually, pooling resources to award $30,000 to selected organizations. This initiative fosters community engagement and aims to improve living conditions for all in Lexington.

LexGive365 is a giving circle made up of emerging philanthropists and civic leaders who have a desire to create change in Lexington. LexGive365 members contribute to a charitable fund and meet annually to review nonprofit proposals and vote on nonprofit grant recipients.
