Louisville Water Foundation’s Work Highlights Crucial Role of Water

2024 Foundation Report released

Parklands SEED ProgramLouisville Water firmly believes quality water is integral to a quality of life. That same belief is directly tied to the valuable work Louisville Water Foundation does throughout the year to provide funding and support for community members and programming.

The 2024 Louisville Water Foundation report reflects a strong commitment to improving the health and well-being of our communities through water assistance and education.

The Foundation’s impact was felt in homes, schools, parks, and area organizations. One of the most significant financial contributions benefited Drops of Kindness℠, Louisville Water and Louisville MSD’s customer assistance program.

The Foundation provided $300,000 in regular funding and $50,000 in special funding to the Association of Community Ministries in Jefferson County.
