Members of Heels Together, a women-led initiative of the Central Kentucky Community Foundation, met for their annual investors banquet Tuesday evening.
The banquet was an opportunity for investors to hear about the impact of their philanthropic activity in the previous year and to hear from the 2025 grant award finalists.
“All the presenters have a vision, and with our support we can grow these ideas into reality,” said Lindsey Alicna. “As we celebrate a night of impactful projects, let us remember that each contribution we make is a seed of growth in this community. We are here to invest in the kind of future we want to see for ourselves, certainly our daughters if you have daughters, and then certainly our next generations.”
The initiative has raised an endowment of more than $600,000, and Becky Ates said the support of the initiative has been felt in many places.
“Since 2015, we’ve funded 31 initiatives to 17 different organizations, totaling just under $300,000 benefiting over 1,300 women and girls,” Ates said.
Grant winners included Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland which received $7,500, Helping Hand of Hope which received $10,000, and PURE, Inc., wWhich received $12,000.
