External agency fund grants are a critical initiative by Louisville Metro government to support local organizations that deliver essential services and programs across our community.

By providing financial resources to nonprofit agencies, the external agency fund grants help foster a safer, stronger, more vibrant, and equitable Louisville.

Here's a look at one of the organizations utilizing external agency fund grant money to better our community.

We're doing great work here.

The bookworks has been around since 2009.

We moved into direct service back in 2022.

When you recognize that need for one-on-one education advocates.

A lot of the folks that we work with are facing some very, very serious situations.

Housing instability, food insecurity.

As one organization, we can't, you know, have a superpower in every single area.

So that's why we really rely on our partners to be able to kind of create that comprehensive support.

One of the other amazing parts of EAF funding is just the collaboration that it increases between organizations.

We're helping out even in small ways for a lot of people.

It's going from getting suspended really often to being in a place that really nurtures them that helps them feel like they are in a place that really cares about who they are.

It's just very important to show up and be supportive of what they're going through and understand them as human beings and not look at them for the ways that they've been labeled negatively or anything like that, just recognizing that they deserve respect and they deserve to have access to education and community support, mental health resources.

So I definitely just enjoy being a good role model and being supportive of who they are and the needs that they have.

The external agency fund grant program operates through a competitive grant process, ensuring that public funds are allocated responsibly to organizations that demonstrate the ability to make a meaningful impact.

Through these grants, Louville Metro government seeks to strengthen partnerships with community organizations and invest in programs that promote stability, growth, and opportunity, making our community a better place.
