Louisville Corporate Citizenship / Partners in Philanthropy Awards

Overview

Louisville Business First’s Partners in Philanthropy / Corporate Philanthropist Lists program recognizes Louisville-area companies for their charitable giving, employee volunteerism, and overall community impact. Run by the local Business Journals newsroom, it is an editorial, data-driven recognition rather than a pay‑to‑play ranking, and many regional companies pursue it for reputational capital and local visibility with civic and nonprofit leaders. Honorees are typically featured in print/online lists and celebrated at a Partners in Philanthropy awards event.
