Metro United Way's Black L.O.V.E. Philanthropic Partnership (BLPP) invests in and supports nearly two-dozen Black-led organizations focused on social change in the Greater Louisville region.
L.O.V.E. stands for Live, Own, Vote, and Excel — the key areas of focus for these organizations:
Live: Access to affordable and healthy food, equitable justice, safe and efficient transportation, health and human services, parks and green spaces
Own: Affordable, safe housing and home ownership, public safety, economic development
Vote: Increase of Black voter registration and turnout
Excel: Equitable access to quality education, living wages, job training, and strong neighborhoods
