The mission of The Gilbert Foundation is to support nonprofit organizations in the Louisville area focusing on educational programming for reading skills improvement, arts, music, youth leadership development, environmental initiatives for public spaces, and animal programming related to conservation, abuse prevention, and refuge.
The Gilbert Foundation Grant aims to fund nonprofits in Louisville, as established through Dick Gilbert's estate, who was known for his service as a helicopter pilot and 'Traffic Tracker' for WHAS radio. The grant supports causes in education, environment, and animal welfare. All proposals must align with the foundation's guidelines and receive preliminary review by the Executive Director before submission deadlines.
