Give Global. Give Local.
Give Before December 31.
Your gift today keeps Kentucky connected to the world. With your support, students meet global leaders, communities engage in meaningful dialogue, and visitors from around the world experience the generosity of our region. When you give before December 31, you help ensure these opportunities remain accessible for everyone—and your gift may offer 2025 tax benefits.
