About The Greater Louisville Project

The Greater Louisville Project is an independent, non-partisan civic initiative organized by the Community Foundation of Louisville and supported by a consortium of philanthropic foundations that includes The James Graham Brown Foundation, Brown-Forman, The C. E. & S. Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, The Community Foundation of Louisville, Gheens Foundation, The Humana Foundation and The JP Morgan Chase Foundation and the Stephen Reily and Emily Bingham Fund.  

Its mission is to act as a catalyst for action, providing research, data, and analytic tools in support of the agenda for long-term progress outlined in the 2002 Brookings Institution Report, "Beyond Merger:  A Competitive Vision for the Regional City of Louisville."   The Greater Louisville Project publishes the  "Competitive City Report," tracking progress against key community indicators.

"Deep Drivers of Change"

Research commissioned by The Greater Louisville Project in 2006 identified "Deep Drivers of Change" designed to move Louisville into the top tier among its peer cities by 2010 in three key strategic areas: Education, Jobs, and Quality of Place.
